After a disappointing showing for the Boston Red Sox<\/a> in the Wild Card Series against the New York Yankees, there’s definitely a feeling around the fan base that adding more offensive help should be at the top of the priority list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’ll be interesting to see which direction the Red Sox want to take this winter, as there isn’t exactly a slew of offensive bats available on the free-agent market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among them, however, is outfielder Randy Arozarena. Arozarena is a tough player to evaluate in the simple sense, as there have been times when he’s been very above average, and others when he struggled.<\/p>\n

He’s not a perfect player, but he was great in his free-agent year, hitting .281 with an .865 OPS, 148 OPS+, and 26 home runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Red Sox reporter recently suggested he could be a potential option in Boston, and with his postseason offensive success, he’d be a great fit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of top free agent bats, the two obvious headliners are outfielders Randy Arozarena and Seiya Suzuki. Arozarena is coming off a career-year in which he recorded his sixth consecutive season with 20 homers and 20 stolen bases while posting an .865 OPS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe three-time All-Star is also a proven postseason performer and the kind of big personality who can provide an immediate spark on the field and in the clubhouse,\u201d Mac Cerullo wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arozarena has played in 45 playoff games and appeared in 161 at-bats. He has done nothing but swing the bat at a high level, posting a .946 OPS and hitting 12 home runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For a Red Sox team that has struggled offensively at times in October, he might be able to answer some of those questions.<\/p>\n
