$22.5 mill is what is preventing the Sox from moving on from him right now.
I know but you're paying it anyway, why not get production out of the kid while prepping him...heck, even if you have to up/down him like Ellsbury last year or Youk way back when, at least the kid gets reps and Lugo gets to think about why he's crap, and has been crap for longer than this "skid". Perhaps Lugo backs up a few days, they gotta do something, the rest of the lineup needs an infusion, and we know it ain't coming from Crisp (but we need him on D), Drew's pretty much at the acme what more could you ask of him generally, Youk and Lowell are pretty much stayin the course and grinding out some great at bats to keep it alive. Meanwhile you have Manny's struggling, Dusty's on fire, and we all knew Tek would struggle at the plate; it seems to me that it's Lugo that has to step back so we can bring in a new face - he brings the least on both cumulative sides of the ball, and it truly looks like we need something from an outside source 'cause Casey, god love him, is not it in my eyes.
