Well, now
the "shortstop of the future" really is. The Red Sox sent slick-field, little hit Jose Iglesias down to the minors today. So, the first major power struggle between Bobby V. and BenCher goes to the GM. As we've said before, we think this is a mistake. Iglesias should be the 2012 starting shortstop, with Mike Aviles as the all-around infield back-up. Nick Punto should have been released. But, we move on.
In addition, Lars Anderson was sent down to minor league camp. Perhaps his hot Spring numbers will entice another team to trade for the kid—since he has no future here behind A-Gon.
