New Red Sox manager John Farrell stepped to the podium at Fenway Park Tuesday and smiled after hearing a flowery introduction delivered by general manager Ben Cherington.
“Ben, you said an awful lot of nice things,” Farrell said. “But we know it’s going to come down to the quality of the players on the roster when it comes to the wins.”

I don't understand what their problem is with Iglesias. From everything I've read this guy is a "special" defensive fielder. Pitching is the most important thing so don't you think having Iglesias playing behind your pitchers would instill more confidence? Considering they have a new shortstop every year, I think they need to revisit their philosophy on the position. Who cares if the guy hits a little over 200. He'll save more runs than other offensive-minded short stops knock in. They don't need offense from every position.
