When I heard the Sox had declined Alex Gonzalez’ option for 2010, I’ll admit to being a little surprised. I figgered we’d do what we needed to do to keep the guy around another year, then let him slowly fade into the sunlight next autumn, like David Banner at the end of every...

Well, that was a surprise.
Julio Lugo has been designated for assignment, bringing to a close a tumultuous two-and-a-half years with Lugo as our apparent shortstop.
I opined on this transaction over at the Hardball Times. Some nuggets:

Taking an in-depth look into the career, and production of the #1 off-season free agent at the shortstop position. With three teams highly interested (Red Sox, Mets, Blue Jays), is he really worth $40 million over 4 years?

Tony did something very telling last night in the 9th, right before McClellan blew the game (btw, why is McClellan in the game there and not Franklin?). He double-switched Julio Lugo into the game in place of Rasmus. Skip went from 2nd to CF and Lugo went to 2nd base. This move...

Man this guy needs to lay off the drugs..... Has he checked the standings the Sox haven't lost any ground in a month, despite playing awful ball and the Yankees being hot. And for Lugo, he's hitting .225 now, an unbelievable .36 points higher since the all-star break, guy is on a tear.

Theo Epstein made one of his worst decisions as GM of the Boston Red Sox in 2007. He signed SS Julio Lugo for four years and $36 million dollars. A handful of under-performing seasons and 42 errors later, Theo has rid himself of his mistake.

As a friend, Julio Lugo, I feel it's important to tell you that no matter what you do, you're going to be the scapegoat. We can't boo Papi -- it's just not in our DNA -- so when something goes wrong, you're gonna be the guy who hears it. Sox offense can't buy...

There is no doubt about it, the Red Sox would not have reached the playoffs if it wasn't for Jed Lowrie. Lowrie stepped up when Julio Lugo went down with his quad injury and when I say 'stepped up,' I mean it. It took him a few weeks to accumulate more RBIs than Julio Lugo...

Julio Lugo had a .726 career OPS heading into tonight’s game against the Phillies. He’s never finished a season with a slugging percentage higher than .431 and only once has he had an above-average OPS+ (2005 with Tampa Bay). Calling Lugo with his career .391 SLG light...

Julio Lugo goes the tried and true way of demonstrating your dominance at training camp: beat the weakest competition you can find. But when that 'weak competition' is your 3 year old son, who can't stand to see you suck all the time, all bets are off.
