Theo's Achilles has been the Shortstop position.
I still liked Alex Gonzalez
Gonzalez couldnt hit for his life. He also got paid WAY more then he was worth. He also made 16 errors last year in 110 games. He also has only played 110 games since he left do to numerous injuries including a broken knee cap. Letting Gonzalez go was the right move.
why no chants for Pokey Reese if we are going down the line of all defense no offense ss?
Gonzales makes about half what Lugo makes, and last year hit .272 with 16 HR's. Also, the year he was here he only made 7 errors, which is probably how most of us remember him.
I don't think Lowrie has what it takes to play short either, and there really isn't anyone else down on the farm. I don't think that Lugo's down right horrible, and if the biggest flaw with your team is that your 9 hitter hits around .250 and is average defensively, then your probably in pretty good shape.
A little OT, but one thing that bugs me about Lugo is that can't even bunt. He literally bunts it out of play most of the time.
One more thing, did anyone notice that throughout the ninth inning last night they kept showing shots of Lugo standing there at short after he made the error? Then after the bloop to end it, they closed up on Lugo running off the field. Okay NESN, we get it.
He blew the game. It wasn't the only thing that didn't go well for the team last night......
