Should we be surprised that Nick Green is back in the lineup?

I wonder if Lugo will see any more time as the starting shortstop. I just wish Lowrie was the long term answer, I'm still not convinced.

I really can't see how Francona can put Lugo in there at all. Green can't play everyday though so maybe once or twice a week until Jed gets back.

I don't think Jed is the long-term answer either. But unless a shortstop who is becomes available by trade, we'll have to wait til the offseason to find one.

Maybe Jack Wilson from the Pirates.

Here's the list of free agents at shortstop.

Orlando Cabrera (35)
Alex Cora (34)
Craig Counsell (39)
Bobby Crosby (30)
Adam Everett (33)
Chris Gomez (39)
Alex Gonzalez (32) - $6MM mutual option with a $500K buyout
Khalil Greene (30)
Jerry Hairston Jr. (34)
John McDonald (35)
Marco Scutaro (34)
Miguel Tejada (36)
Omar Vizquel (43)
Jack Wilson (32) - $8.4MM club option with a $600K buyout

Someone told me that Sean McAdam said on the Baseball Show this morning that Lugo will be released when Lowrie returns.

Wow, that is a bunch of old guys (in baseball terms) in that list.

McAdam usually has good info so that could very well happen.
