snow will be used sparingly and in a pinch-hit, defensive replacement role. He didnt have youk on there as an infielder, whos ops last year was .805. Gonzalez's ops is right around league average and hes good defensively. Who knows, maybe a change of league and team can get lowell's and Snow's ops back up to where it was in 04. You cant say someone is on the decline just looking at 2 years of stats. Trot Nixon isnt on a decline. Nixon's career OPS is .855 and he's never had a year with an OPS under .800 since 1999. He also doesnt mention how good the sox bullpen is or how deep they are for SP. Everything was negative, the whole article was about how the sox infield is old and sucks. Why doesnt he write about the same thing with the yankees rotation.
