Part of Remy's charm for all those years was not only that he was a former Sox player but also a local kid done good. I know there are plenty of former players from MA, and some that have even played in Boston. I don't know what the Venn diagram looks like in terms of who would be available that fits both criteria (and you could easily expand the region to all of New England, though I'm not sure how many more people that would give you), but that short list might be where I start looking.
Not that he fits that criteria, but I wonder if Nomar would be interested in doing it? He was beloved by the fans before the acrimonious end; it would be a nice coda on his Boston career. I know he did some stuff for ESPN or MLBN, but I don't know what he does now or if he'd even be any good at it.
Edit: Mark Bellhorn was born in Boston? Not sure I knew that.
