Lowrie sucked too. Scutaro meh. Iglesias was the best of that bunch and trading him in 2013 was a horrible move as well. Almost derailed the whole world series run. Jake Peavey was horrible
Gotta say, still would've kept him considering the horrors we faced with Edgar (30 errors) Renteria, Alex (no hit) Gonzalez, and Julio (sucks at Baseball) Lugo, soon after.
Good write-up here on the acquisition. Looks like IKF is our 2B man. The Ketel ship has sailed. Probably a positive.

Seems like guys like Oviedo and Dustin May are those 5th/6th Starter types that have a high ceiling if they reach their potential. Wondering if big trades for Skubal or Ryan are on the table that would include the likes of Bello, Tolle, and Early....???
He was also on the 2007 Indians, who led ALCS against Sox 3-1. He also was on 2nd Base and was (luckily for us) inexplicably held up at 3rd on a single against the side wall that would have tied Game 7 in the 7th inning and handed over momentum to Cleveland.
In this game POS Julio Lugo dropped an easy pop up to TRY and lose the series for Boston.
Yes, Anthony, Campbell, Rafaela, Crochet. They count. Perhaps soon we'll see external ones. He’s also had Bregman and Chapman externally which were good ones.
He's not worth 7/210 IMHO. Masa was definitely a mistake but he's got only 2-36 left. Devers Contract was also a mistake, same can maybe be said for Story. I like the Contracts Breslow has handed out for the most part.
