ESPN reports that the Red Sox and Diamondbacks have agreed in principle to swap Shea "Scotty Cooper II" Hillenbrand for Byung-Hyun "Derek Lowe II" Kim. Apparently, the D'Backs are ready to give up on underproducing Matt Williams. The Red Sox have a starting third baseman in Bill Mueller and can replace Hillenbrand easily at first with either Jeremy Giambi or Kevin Millar. They get a tail-end starter or possible closer.
