The Red Sox have plenty of talent on the horizon at shortstop so they only need a placeholder for the short term. Peter Gammons speculated on some of the options in his latest post: There seem to be several ways the Sox could go at shortstop, although it is clear they want Jed Lowrie to play at Pawtucket, make up for what amounts to a lost season and prove that his wrist will hold up. In the meantime,...

The Red Sox did not pick up Alex Gonzalez’ $6M option for 2010. And Jed Lowrie continues to fight through a wrist injury that may have destroyed his career. That leaves the Red Sox with gaping hole at short stop and limited options to fill it. Marco Scuturo had a career year in Toronto, but do the [...]

MLB Trade Rumors posted its list of the 50 top free agents including where they think each one will end up. They have Holliday going to the Mets, Lackey going to the Yanks and Bay returning to Boston. They also include Marco Scutaro going to the Red Sox: Marco Scutaro - Red Sox. It's difficult to place Scutaro, because not many teams with shortstop vacancies will be willing to pay the three years...

The Red Sox declined a 1-year $6 million option on slick-fielding shortstop Alex Gonzalez this weekend. Given the dearth of viable replacements in the organization, I find this move rather surprising. There are several explanations I can think of: The team has a tacit agreement in place with Gonzalez to re-sign him at a lower price. Jed Lowrie’s [...]

Ever since the Red Sox traded Nomar Garciaparra to the Cubs at the 2004 trade deadline, they've been looking for a long-term solution at shortstop. They've gone the big name free agent route with Edgar Renteria and Julio Lugo, tried the scrap heap approach with Nick Green, and gave a youngster like Jed Lowrie a shot as well. In total, they've used 19 different shortstops since the Nomar deal, including...

Yesterday came abruptly for Jed Lowrie, “like hitting a brick wall,’’ he said. He figured there would be a game to play, maybe a flight back to California. He can instead look forward, to this offseason and beyond, and perhaps that is the best thing he could ask for - a chance to leave behind 2009.
