The Red Sox hunt for a shortstop has come to stop when they signed 34-year-old Marco Scutaro. This coming after the Red Sox released Alex Gonzalez and the Jays picked him up. Scutaro accepted a two-year contract with an option for a third. No longer does Pedroia play the left side of the infield. Whats great about this deal is Marco is the definition of utility player, you throw the guy a glove he'll play the position. If Jose Iglesias pans out to be a shortstop in two year, then Marco can easily move anywhere in the field or even play off the bench.
2008 stats (a career year): .282/.379/.409, 12 HRs, 60 RBIs, 35 doubles.
