If the Mets do trade Louis Castillo they will then be left with a whole at 2B, most consider Orlando Hudson a lock for the spot.But just as Hudson appears to be destine for Citifield, Marco Scutaro appears a lock for Boston, however; the Boston Herald speculates on who else could be interested in Scutaro.The Herald speculates that if the Mets rid themselves of Castillo they may become interested in Scutaro. One incentive the Mets may have over other clubs in regards to any Type A free agents is that with the Mets first round pick guaranteed they can only lose a second round pick. It was recently reported that the Blue Jays will offer Scutaro arbitration but that he will surely seek more then what he would recieve from arby ( source MLBTR).The 34 y/o right hander is a lifetime .265 hitter with an OBP of .337 and an OPS of .721. he spent the first two years of his major league career as a weak hitting middle infielder with the Mets between 2002-2003 before being traded to the A's ...

All Marco-All the Time
Is it just me or is Marco Scutaro the only player anybody is talking about? Once Gonzo signed with the Jays all eyes turned to Scutaro and they have not looked away. The hole at short has overtaken the hole in left in the media this week.
Bob Ryan thinks Theo made a huge mistake by not signing Gonzalez and now the Red Sox have to get creative. Scutaro seems like the answer at...
Marco Scutaro confirms Mariners have approached him
Just got off the blower with our Venezuelan contact, reporter Augusto Cardenas from Diario Panorama in Venezuela. He spoke to Marco Scutaro down there and the 34-year-old veteran infielder, who posted a .789 OPS with Toronto last season, confirmed the Mariners are one of four teams that have approached him about signing on as a free agent for next season.
The Mariners, Red Sox...
Halladay to the Yanks Would Bring Destruction
Major League Baseball, as it has nothing to write about, has decided to provide pointless articles on such fascinating subjects as what Marco Scutaro had for breakfast and John Lackey’s favorite shade of blue. Needless to say, I wouldn’t advise reading this lame fan fodder. It’s the offseason, nothing is happening, and MLB.com is freaking [...]
Blue Jays Will Offer Scutaro Arbitration
Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FoxSports.com report that the Blue Jays will still offer Marco Scutaro arbitration, even though they added shortstop Alex Gonzalez yesterday. If Scutaro accepts, the Jays would keep him in the leadoff spot, but shift him to leftfield. Scutaro is a Type-A free agent, so the Jays stand to receive two draft picks if he signs elsewhere. Rosenthal...

Hot Stove or Ice Box?
You should never be in a hurry to make a poor choice. And currently, baseball's labor pool lives in the world of Buyer's Remorse, where generally ownership overpays for mediocrity.Example: Marco Scutaro, a player whose price is at its peak, but what of value. Scutaro scored 100 runs and had twelve homers last season. He had NEVER hit double digit homers and never scored more...

Boston Red Sox Wants Marco Scutaro? The Question Is...WHY?!
If you haven't heard, Alex Gonzalez signed a one-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. Happy Thanksgiving Red Sox Nation. What does this mean? Well first off, it means Gonzalez will not be back in a Red Sox uniform...Read the full article on Bleacher Report...
Losing One A-Gon Means Gaining Another?
As our pal Rob at The Bottom Line noted in our comments section, the Sox will be minus A-Gon come 2010. While we were blabbering on about liberating the best of Toronto, those sneaky Canadians actually did something, securing Gonzalez to a one-year deal, and clearing the path for Marco Scutaro to join our ranks. Maybe.But now that the Sox are short one A-Gon, it only seems fitting...
If We Do Trade Jose Lopez…
Assuming we don’t get a second baseman in return, which is quite unlikely, we’re obviously going to need someone to replace him. In Geoff Baker’s recent article on the subject of trading Jose Lopez, he mentions both Orlando Hudson and Placido Polanco as potential free agent replacements, as well as the possibility of Matt Tuiasosopo [...]
