E-6… Yet Again
Ah, Julio Lugo. Four years for $36 million dollars.
For what? He’s lousy at the plate. A decent base stealer when he gets on (which seems rare these days — and last year too) but that’s probably about it.
For the second time in three nights Lugo booted an easy grounder which kept an inning alive which ended up costing the Sox two runs.
Poor, poor Julio. He says everyone is too negative. Well, Julio, here’s a positive for you: you are positively stinkin’ up the joint!
Theo Epstein has done a phenomenal job of building this team up, but I don’t understand where his predilection for messing with shortstop comes from. So Cabrera may have partied too much. He eventually settled down and was great while he was here. Then we got Edgar Rent-a-wreck who had a lousy tenure here in Boston because he couldn’t stand the pressure. (Take heart Edgar — at the pace Lugo is going he’s going to make your tenure here look like Hall of Fame material). Then Gonzalez who was great defensively and would have been fine.
But instead Theo brings in Lugo, who supposedly was going to be this offensive force.
He’s offensive alright….
Here’s a positive tip for Julio: take some extra infield practice!!!
