Julio Lugo is no longer a factor, Nick Green has been better than anyone could have hoped for but not a long term anwser, and while I like Lowrie, I don't consider him a franchise Short Stop. Well, the rumors are saying the Sox are looking to sign a potential franchise guy for the future in 19 year old  Cuban defector Jose Iglesias. All the reports I have read describe him as an old school type of short stop who is quick and amazing at defense, but not an great hitter. Here is a picture of the dude: SportsTeddy2009-07-04T03:00:00Zhttp://blog.sportspoliticandrevenge.com/2009/07/03/everthing-but-the-win.aspx?ref=rssSportsTeddy2009-07-04T02:51:00Zhttp://blog.sportspoliticandrevenge.com/2009/07/02/in-honor-of-crappy-boston-weather-the-top-songs-about-rain.aspx?ref=rss9.

Tonight was the latter. Sometimes I forget that Lester is a year younger than I am with 75 career starts so that type of somewhat inconsistency is expected. It seems of late though that he is bringing his ace stuff more than his average stuff which is a good sign down the stretch. ...]]>SportsTeddy2009-06-30T03:38:00Zhttp://blog.sportspoliticandrevenge.com/2009/06/29/the-following-people-are-not-dead.aspx?ref=rssMiscellaneousTeddy2009-06-29T23:47:00Zhttp://blog.sportspoliticandrevenge.com/2009/06/28/sox-leading-the-toughest-pack.aspx?ref=rss1.

1. Papi hit had 2 hits included another HR. This one was especially positive since he went over the Monster.


2. Penny pitched his best game of the year. 6 shut out innings against the Yankees and he was clocked at 98MPH on a few pitches. His trade value keeps going up. I know some say keep him, but just like a stock I think we need to take our winnings and sell high on him. What we don't need is to have him on our roster if he gets hurt and right ...]]>SportsTeddy2009-06-12T02:54:00Z
