Sox fans only do this please.
I've never done one of these before so lets try and do it. I'm not adding up salary for the team though.
Offer Lowell 3 year, $41 mil. Make this signing a priority and do all you can to get him to accept. If he accepts cool, if not then wish him goodbye.
If he walks pick up Adam Dunn to play first and move Youk to third.
Trade Julio Lugo, Coco Crisp and cash to the Cubs for Jason Marquis and Bobby Howry .
Offer Schilling 1 year $10 mil with an incentive saying he can get 2 mil in incentives if he starts 12 games or gets 8 wins. Whichever comes first. If not, bye.
Sign Troy Percival.
Sign Octavio Dotel/Scott Linebring (cheaper)

Nothing specific because I dunno what's out there FA wise, but trade Coco for either reliever or prospect, sign another starter, sign a speedy backup OF(Coco has the skills to take that role, but he's expensive to be a backup), resign Lowell.
1). Re-sign Lowell
2). If the trade you heard in your other thread is true to form, I will not be happy.
