Winter Meetings: 3 big names

[Jeff]

I'm not much of a baseball fan, but somehow the offseason always pulls me in.  So from what I've seen, there are three major names out there for the taking (perhaps).

1. Cliff Lee - all signs point to the Yankees, but maybe the Rangers can get a WS discount for him.

2. Carl Crawford - Werth skews the market and the Sox and Yanks might be too divided in their efforts elsewhere, so my best guess is the Angels land him

3. Zach Greinke - least likely to move but what a prize if you could peel him away.  Sounds like Toronto might be in the lead?

any thoughts on those three?

also, on a more Red Sox centric tac, I wonder if the Sox are shopping Dice-K and Paps in an effort to stock up prospects to flip them to the Royals or some other team looking to dump a star

The greinke thing is tricky.  I think whichever team loses out on Lee, Rangers or Yanks, they will make a very hard push for him. 

I am hoping Crawford goes to the Angels, because then the sox wont have to deal with him, but also, he would be very fun to watch in the angels system.
