Red Sox fans don?t seem to be terribly pleased with the team?s current shortstop options:?Mike Aviles and Nick Punto. ?But Bobby Valentine is kind of cool with it:
?I?ve never seen any of the guys play except for Punto a little on television. We?ve got seven weeks together, we?ll practice together, we?ll play together, that will all work itself out,? Valentine said. ?I think it?s always good for guys to get a chance to work and think they have a chance to make the team so they work a little harder.?
And maybe he should be. As Alex Speier of WEEI points out in a great column today, there is no reason to assume that a team can?t win a world championship with veterans, castoffs and glorified utility guys playing at short. Happens all the time, in fact.
If I had to guess I?d say that the Sox are going to keep close tabs on any shortstop who may become available as the season progresses. But really, there are worse things that can happen to be somewhat unsettled there. ?Like, you know, having a lot of question marks in the rotation.
