JOSE IGLESIAS RUMORS

Before the 2012 season, Jose Iglesias was a hot name on the radar of just about every Red Sox fan. The strong play of Mike Aviles has calmed the Iglesias talk, but the talented shortstop is still making a push for a callup while down in Pawtucket. Iglesias is hitting .269 with 14 RBIs and eight steals this season with the Red Sox Triple-A affiliate and may be making a case for a...

The Aaron Cook era in Boston has begun. The Red Sox have added Red Sox savior Aaron Cook to the major league roster. 33 year old Cook will start on Saturday in place of tired and injured Josh Beckett. To make room on the 40 man roster, the Red Sox placed Carl Crawford on the 60 day DL, a no brainer move as Crawford isn’t coming back anytime soon. To free up room on the 25...

Youk has missed 3 games with a "minor" back injury, as a result, the Sox have called up Jose Iglesias to back-up the infield. To make room, Tazawa has been sent back down to the Pawsox. Third baseman, Will Middlebrooks has been on a tear to start the season in Pawtucket and his call up to Boston was imminent. A recent set-back by way of a minor thumb injury has given Jose...

BOSTON –– The speedy shortstop gripped Yoenis Cespedes' attention years ago. Each time the Athletics' outfielder turned on his television –– in his native country of Cuba –– he became enthralled with a teenage whiz that was shining for the junior national team. Turns out, that standout was Red Sox shortstop Jose Iglesias, who was promoted to the majors before...

After causing a minor controversy during Spring Training as a vocal portion of the media called for him to start, Jose Iglesias is finally going to get his shot. The Boston Red Sox have called up the defensive wizard to help the infield as third baseman Kevin Youkilis deals with back issues. By adding Iglesias, the Red Sox can move current shortstop Mike Aviles to third and get Iglesias...

Jose Iglesias has been recalled from AAA Pawtucket while Junichi Tazawa has been optioned to Pawtucket. This move is likely in response to Kevin Youkilis missing his 3rd straight game due to an injury. Currently Kevin Youkilis is hitting .219/.292/.344 with two home runs and two doubles. His health has been a concern all year long as Youkilis hasn’t looked like himself this...

It's a sad day, my friends. The coming of our shortstop of the next decade has been delayed, as Jose Iglesias was optioned to Pawtucket, along with Lars Anderson (no surprise there). Many of us were holding out hope that Iglesias' flashy glove would outshine his weak bat, but it appears it was not enough. It also makes you think Ben Cherington has a leg up on Bobby Valentine...

Bobby V continues to talk neutrally about his players, but drops a few hints today that Jose Iglesias might be closer to his big league debut than some think. Via Alex Speier of WEEI: “Readiness for the big leagues? Pretty close,” Valentine said of Iglesias. “I think we’ve seen a lot. Now it will just be a determination of whether it’s his time. I think he’s played...

We didn't get to it yesterday, but Alex Speier had a great piece on Jose Iglesias, which comes down to this: Don't give up just yet. “He’s not afraid to work at all. He’s going to be a special kid sometime. We just need to be patient and make sure that when he gets back up there, he’s ready to stay and not be overmatched again where you’d get into a funk and say...

By Nick DiBattista Sorry Jose, I'm not sold on you in that uniform I already know that writing this article is going to bump heads with a few writers on the staff, and probably a majority of you readers—but I feel that it needs to be said. Jose Iglesias IS a bust, and his value is only going to remain this high as long as he hides in AAA, so before he comes up to...
