While attention has been focused on Boston's needs on the mound, the Sox were always going to find themselves in the market for a fourth outfielder. As it stands, they're set to head into the season with Rusney Castillo, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Mookie Betts manning the outfield. That's three players who could prove quite productive, but also three players with a combined total of about 2,000 plate appearances.
