Typical a700. Everything now now now. Don't care about this off season or next season, only now. We shouldn't be shocked.
We will just concentrate on Guzman's performance. Not the teams.
Guzman comes in. hits .270 .330 OBP couple HR's. He hits ok, but his defense is not good. Would that be worth the move? Can you honestly expect more then that out of him?
I basically just describes what Julio Lugo was in Boston. Guzman=Lugo. Do you really want him at SS now and for 2010?
Let me run a scenario by you since you normally like to do the "worst case" variety.
What if the acquire him and it keeps them from going after a legit young SS this off season? You would be first in line trashing the FO and be cursing Guzman's name. If you don't believe me just think if this headline, " Sox back out of Hanley deal. Sox are committed to Guzman for 2010".
