Re: Padres cut Jim Edmonds loose
I continue to support Julio Lugo and Coco Crisp for Khalil Greene; the Padres might be receptive to that right now.
Crisp: .315/.338/.384
Lugo: .286/.351/.345
Greene: .209/.264/.295
The Red Sox have Drew, Manny, Jacoby left in the outfield, plus Moss when he's back in a month or so. If Greene doesn't return to his power-hitting self, there's Lowrie, whose best position is shortstop, and Cora is ready to return.
If Greene can't hit, and if 2007 was a pure fluke, at least the Red Sox are rid of Lugo's contract and two players more unpopular than they deserve to be in Boston.
If Greene returns to 2007 form, and if both Park Factors and the AL-NL difference are considered, Boston has another Rico Petrocelli in his prime.
