Yes Dustin, you are one of my untouchables.
With the baseball season inching closer to October, talk of what the Red Sox should do in the off season is picking up.  As a fan, you always have players who you would like to see your team trade for or pick up in free agency.  Likewise, there are players on your team who you do not want to part ways with.  Theses players are frequently referred to as the untouchables.  Here are my 2015 Red Sox Untouchables.
Dustin Pedroia- Of course the second basemen makes the cut.  He's got heart, he's got glove, and he's locked up until 2022.  While his contract averages just under $14 million per year, it peaks in 2018 with $16 million.  This is probably a good time to link to my post about one of last year's $19 million per year acquisitions.

David Ortiz-
Besides having a friendly contract, Ortiz still gets the job done.  Even with all of his and his teammates' offensive struggles this season, he still has 97 RBIs.  He also seems to be able to keep the Boston media occupied when the going gets tough.
Xander Bogaerts- It's funny how good the kid can play when he isn't getting benched for Stephen Drew ($5 million, .202 average). Besides being a total stud defensively, he appears to be a great kid.  And yes, likability matters.

Mookie Betts- Defense, check.  Bat, check.  Speed, check.  What else could you ask for?  Youth........CHECK.

Jackie Bradley Jr
.- I've been pulling for Jackie long before August 2015.  As a matter of fact, I posted this on June of 2014.  Every game he gets to a ball that no other player could.  Frequently, his amazing defense prevents multiple runs from scoring.  While he's an obvious keeper when he's swinging the bat, he will remain on my list even if his bat cools down.
