Red Sox Pick Up Scutaro's 2012 Option
By Steve Adams [October 30 at 5:26pm CST]
The Red Sox have exercised their $6MM option on Marco Scutaro for the 2012
season, tweets Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald. The team has confirmed
the move in a press release.
Scutaro, who turns 35 today, enjoyed arguably the best offensive season of
his career in 2011. In 113 games, he batted .299/.358/.423
while playing slightly above average defense at shortstop (according to UZR).
Scutaro's offensive production and solid glove make a $6MM salary for 2012 a
bargain.
While the move was expected, this news confirms that the market for
shortstops will be even thinner beyond the two premier names atop the list:
Jose Reyes and Jimmy Rollins. Players such as Clint Barmes, Jamey Carroll,
and Alex Gonzalez (to name a few) figure to benefit from Scutaro's absence on
the open market.
This move represents the first official transaction for new Red Sox general
manager Ben Cherington.
其實也不意外，新GM上任第一筆交易中規中矩
