IMPORTANT RELEVANT INFO IN THIS POST...
The redsox just got something for nothing...the trade deadline was today, and the sox just added TWO gold gloves to their infield...and an EXTREMELY FAST outfielder who adds a NECCESARY dimension to the sox lineup....STOLEN BASES...
Sox now have a SOLID first baseman an excellent everyday shortstop, and a rotateable/pinchrunnable outfielder...Redsox can now MANUFATURE runs in their late game, and reduce their errors SIGNIFICANTLY.
Cabrera was added for defense only. The guy with the 12 letter last name has "decent" offense, but again, hes also only their for his glove. When pokey is back...3 gold gloves will line boston's infield runs scored will drop significantly, and errors will all but dissapear.
Nomar was walking away after this season anyway...this trade may not have been the "Best" one possible, but if you look at when it took place, right before the deadline...youd realize it was better than keeping him around...
bottom line...Bosox now have DEFENSE.
NOMAR was walking away after this season. We got something for nothing...
His bat may be missed, but his errors wont be. Improved Defense more than makes up for it.
