Rockies 5, Giants 4

Marco Scutaro homered off closer Santiago Casilla to lead off the ninth inning and lift the Colorado Rockies past the mistake-prone San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Tuesday night. Scutaro smacked a 92 mph fastball from Casilla (0-2) just over the left-field wall for his first home run of the season after Colorado blew a three-run lead in the eighth. Troy Tulowitzki, Michael Cuddyer...

Where have you gone Marco Scutaro? Our infield turns to you

I was just as surprised as anyone when I heard the news that Marco Scutaro had been traded. It had been pretty clear after last season that Lowrie wasn't the answer so not bringing him back was an obvious choice - but the Scutaro thing really left me puzzled. Marco wasn't going to wow anybody with the glove and yeah his arm left a lot to be desired. But the guy could hit...

Did Boston Red Sox Really Trade Marco Scutaro For Roy Oswalt?

The Boston Red Sox traded shortstop Marco Scutaro to the Colorado Rockies this weekend, just days after the deal appeared dead. Boston sent Scutaro to Colorado for Clayton Mortensen, technically. But the stronger feeling is that the only reason the Red Sox made this deal was so that it would fee up $6 million dollars in salary in an effort to go out and sign free agent pitcher Roy...

BoSox deal Scutaro to Rocks, eye Oswalt

The Boston Red Sox had a busy Saturday, trading shortstop Marco Scutaro and his $6 million salary to the Colorado Rockies while remaining in pursuit of free-agent starter Roy Oswalt. The Red Sox may be the favorite to sign Oswalt, sources say. The Detroit Tigers were on the fringe of the Oswalt market as of Saturday evening. Other teams were involved, as well. The Red Sox, who...

Fantasy Impact: Scutaro Traded to Rockies

The Boston Red Sox traded their opening day shortstop, Marco Scutaro, to the Colorado Rockies for some bullpen help in the form of Clayton Mortensen. Scutaro was never a great fantasy option, but over the last three years he’s been a serviceable fill-in when your team’s starting shortstop is either hurt or has a day off. Scutaro ranked 16th among all shortstops last...

Rockies get Scutaro from Red Sox

The Colorado Rockies have acquired infielder Marco Scutaro from the Boston Red Sox for right-hander Clayton Mortensen. The 36-year-old Scutaro hit a career-high .299 for the Red Sox last year, when he had 26 doubles, seven homers, 54 RBIs and a .358 on-base percentage. He was projected as Boston's starting shortstop but will play second base and bat second in Colorado, where...

Phase 1. Trade Scutaro. Phase 2. ??? Phase 3. Profit.

  GnomesGet More: SOUTHPARKmore...     The Red Sox and Rockies finally consummated their Marco Scutaro talks, as Scutaro heads to Denver to play second base. In return, RHP Clay Mortensen is heading to Fenway. Mortensen is 26 and has been relatively lackluster thus far in his career. He did tally a 3.86 ERA in 16 appearances last year, including six...

Your Morning Dump... Where the Sox tried to dump Scutaro

Every morning we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump... Just because the Red Sox [team stats] have not been able to bring in another starter on a major league deal does not mean they have abandoned hope of doing so. That is why they are still maintaining contact...
