It's easy, and only takes a few moments.i feel like im going to puke.does theo have a clue?we could have kept damon and look at all the shortstops we could have kept or signed in the last three years .all better than lugo . unbelieveable .eckstien o cab gonzo even edgar rentaria is better .five years 70 million. Too bad they passed on Damon last year.
ya eckstien really the mvp of the world series a over achiever .ill take him all day over lugo who i have watched play plenty of games .and in case you didnt notice edgar had a pretty good year with atlanta .i never would have told anyone gonzo sucked i happen to have family in fla and i have seen him up close plenty of times have you ?drew is better than damon thats just hillarious drew has a better arm thats it .good luck with that one. and good luck with drew a guy who coudnt handel st louis or la or atlanta and you think hes going to be able to some how handel the boston media and its fans .you should start tunning in weei because your clueless .wow, just wow. you guys need to shut off eei.
Damon? 30-something CFs are a worse investment than 30-something RFs. Besides, Drew is simply a better player (The only area where Damon is better than Drew is speed, and Drew is no slouch there). The only problem here is if Drew can't handle Boston, which I think we're all paranoid about thanks to Edgar.
It's sad that it is basically predestined that the fans are going to be tough on Drew, raising the likelihood of him struggling to adjust. Wouldn't it be great if we could actually encourage the guy and maybe be happy when he subsequently performs.
And patriotspride, just LOL. Eckstein? really, you'd be happy with him at short? Gonzo, didn't he have the second best year of his career offensively last year and his offense was still killing us? I'll agree that they should have simply resigned Cabrera, but at the time they wanted Edgar and we benefit from hindsight.
Just because you haven't paid any attention to Lugo doesn't mean he isn't any good. before last year you would have told everyone Gonzo sucked because you hadn't watched him daily. give Lugo the same chance.
The simple fact is that the sox lineup was killing them at many positions last year: CF, C, SS, 2B, RF, 3B (2nd half). Two of those deficiencies (RF, SS) have been eliminated and should be strengths next year. Now hopefully either or both of Coco (likely) and Varitek (not so much) can bounce back from injury years and Pedroia can be be even average and the Sox are looking pretty good.
