Poll: “Short” handed Red Sox

New Poll Question:
What to do with the Sox caught "Short" handed?

With Jed Lowrie out until at least the All Star break and possibly longer, what should the Red Sox do at SS this season?

- Nick Green all the way to October
- It's Julio Lugo's job to lose for 2009
- Lugo/Green split time until Lowrie gets back
- Bring in Bobby Crosby, or someone else from the outside
- Maybe Hanley's still available (for laughs only please don't vote for this unless your baseball IQ is < 1)

As always, new poll is up to the right...vote away and argue it out in the comments.

Could Julio Lugo be 2009’s Coco Crisp?

While most people are dreaming of an off chance that Dontrelle Willis could recreate himself in a Boston Red Sox uniform, there is recent precedent that might point towards not rushing Julio Lugo out of town quite so quickly.

Tell me if this story sounds even remotely familiar?

An under-performing veteran coming off an injury plagued season, having never fulfilled his promise present at his debut as a member of the Boston Red Sox, has found his position usurped by a rookie down the stretch before entering Spring Training in the unfamiliar position of a high priced back up. Common logic from fans and the greater baseball community already has that player traded to fill other holes and to allow the rookie to take the mantle of their position without impediment.
