ESPN.com: MLB – Done deal: Millar officially joins Red Sox

Okay, the deal is finally done. Now what?

I sure don’t know. Essentially, Millar, Giambi, Ortiz, Hillenbrand and Mueller are going to split 3B, 1B and DH. But since Millar and Giambi don’t show any platoon disadadvantage, it looks like there are two too many players.

I’m willing to bet Hillenbrand and Ortiz end up elsewhere, unless Giambi ticks off his new bosses. For now, assume everyone is going to get about the same playing time they got last year. They just won’t all do it for Boston.
