so who do you suppose we should sign to play SS? All teams, even the Yanks, have a position or two with a player that doesn't hit well. It's just a fact that you can't get 9 players worthy of starting in the ML that have a decent glove and bat. Sometimes you have to take one of the other. In the end, the Sox will be in the top teams in runs scored. I don't think a couple black holes will hurt us too much.
