Moving on. Scaff, what are your thoughts on Portland fan favorite Iggy Suarez? I say fan favorite becase he gets the most cheers when he is playing in the game. Obviously if he makes the majors it will just be as a utility infielder
You're right Otness isn't much of a prospect, Suarez defense its well known, his bat its the key, however he will be 27 yrs early next year, his chances of reaching the ML are slim, it depends what are the Sox plans for Lowrie in 2008, if they keep him as a short stop Suarez will return to Portland if they decided that Lowrie its better as a second baseman ( like i believe he is) Suarez wil be Pawtucket SS in 2008.
