Re: Red Sox pay $11 million to rid themselves of Edgar Renteria
It is 50/50 whether Marte is ever as good as Renteria.
The Red Sox have a player that should be better than average at third base (Lowell). Third base is covered. If they have some deal worked out to unload Lowell where the other team takes the whole contract AND they can magically come up with a good shortstop, then dealing Renteria makes a little more sense.
This deal basically reverses the value added from the Beckett deal.
You sound rude. How old are you? There was a time in my adult life that I thought batting average, defense, and speed didn't mean anything.
