I'm just skeptical of Scutaro, and hoping it doesn't put too much pressure on Igelsias, a guy who has yet to play an official minor league game yet.<br /><br />Here's hoping Theo provides us with reasons for more optimism, and soon!DVicinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349023854997580163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022434008227965275.post-51585018311400559952009-12-06T09:40:34.232-05:002009-12-06T09:40:34.232-05:00True....this signing could be just another Renteri...True....this signing could be just another Renteria or Lugo bust! Although I doubt it! Scutaro seems to be socially aware with a good head on his shoulders and sounds like he knows what he's talking about. The good news is that it will cost the sox much less. I think that this is one of Theo's better signings as he's not just afixing the bandaid but setting up the future. If this Inglesis kid is the real deal then this is a great signing...cause then maybe you keep the aging Scutaro as a bench player in his final years. The thing you have to like about Scutaro is that he has consistently gotten better (yeah I know his age and that he was a utility player), but I think that he's shown that he can adjust his approach at the plate and most important that he continues to improve his overall game. I always hated when he batted against us in "key" situations, as he has a real good feel for the pitcher's in the league and works the strike zone...I love any hitter that can do that! Ask Mariano Riveria how he likes pitching to him!! Scutaro is a smart ball-player and should do just fine! He'll keep the clubhouse loose and be a key contributor for the sox.<br />...vBosox5Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022434008227965275.post-15383623894725810952009-12-06T09:25:40.857-05:002009-12-06T09:25:40.857-05:00JP is just trying to get a job.
