Earlier this week Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star said the "Red Sox see infielder Mike Aviles and veteran utilityman Willie Bloomquist as candidates to replace injured second baseman Dustin Pedroia."

ESPN's Buster Olney speculates in an Insider article that Aviles would make a good fit in Boston with Pedroia out.
He points out that Dayton Moore and Theo Epstein have had some success doing deals together.
