David Freese Could Be Useful Platoon Player; Red Sox May Still Be Able To Trade Allen Craig; Austin Jackson Remains Serviceable; Nick Punto Wanted More Family Time

David Freese, 3B, free agent — Freese’s stock has certainly diminished over the years after his fast and furious start with the Cardinals. But to remain on the market? “He’s a useful player,” said one American League scout. “You can argue if he’s a full-time starter. Maybe he’s someone you platoon, but with his experience and the potential for some righthanded power, I’m surprised nobody’s taken the leap yet.” The Indians considered him before they signed Juan Uribe.
