I think I know why Sox backed up on acquiring Lugo in any trade. How about he sucks defensively? This past season he had committed 24 errors, 3rd to Edgar.
Lugo past 3 seasons- 70 errors
Cora/Graff combined- 54 errors
I highly doubt Sox will pursue him that much. Besides, odds are that they will do what they had mentioned before, look into free agency market.
