Opening Day SS (Predictions)

Loretta played shortstop all his life before being switched to second a few years ago. I know the guy personally and he is a very gifted athlete. He can do the job at short for a year until Pedroia is ready (and he should be put back there this year in AAA) With Mark and Graff as our DP combo we will have players who can make the routine play, can turn the double play, and most important since we lost Damon, have the ability to hit 300 or better.

 

 

You know Mark Loretta personally? (The Rock look)

I hope this is not true, Kazuo Matsui is reportedly being offered to the Red Sox. The Mets are seeking in return, Alex Cora.

 

The Sox FO would be assinine to do such a deal, Cora will give the same production offensively. And he outweighs heavily Matsui on defensive prowress. Matsui's first 2 seasons in the majors has committed 33 errors. He also comes with a bigger pay for the 2006 season, Cora at $1.5 million, Matsui at $8 million. This should be a no-brainer for them not to pull this trade.
