Not much of a list :-) Don't think Scutaro can handle full-time SS anymore. His arm never really fully healed.
Peralta would be fine, if the Tigers really let him go. I would sign Stephen Drew for a couple of years as a stopgap before Bogaerts is ready, but his brother might warn him away from Boston. At the least they could sign a Bartlett or Izturis as a good-fielding option if Iglesias continues to be awful at the plate. Don't know if either is better than Ciriaco at this point though.
