The Red Sox retained the services of shortstop Marco Scutaro by picking up his option for the 2012 season. It's a great move by new VP/GM Ben Cherington.
I love Scutaro. He's an old-school player who doesn't say much, just goes out there and sucks up all the ground balls hit to short like a hoover. That's what we should call him -- Hoover Scutaro. Jose Iglesias, the Red Sox SS heir apparent, is not quite ready to make the jump to the big ball club, so it makes complete sense to keep Scutaro around another year.
I think I'll go out and get a Scutaro jersey tee shirt, if they even make 'em. I gotta rout for someone who doesn't drink beer on the team. Just kidding. Well, not really.
