The Boston Red Sox have reportedly signed shortshop Marco Scutaro to a two year deal with an option according to the Boston Globe. The deal is pending a physical but the linked story says Scutaro's heel has apparently.......wait for it!...... healed! Get it?
Marco Scutaro tracks down a pop up against Tampa Bay during an August 24th contest at Rogers Centre.
As it turns out, Sctuaro's final game in a Toronto uniform at the Rogers Centre wasn't seen by a whole lot of people. That was on September 9th when a record low of over 11,000 fans turned out to watch Minnesota beat Roy Halladay 4-1. Scutaro went 1-for-2 that night with two walks and a stolen base. It'll be that type of production the Jays will be hard pressed to replace out of the leadoff spot. He gave the Jays their best production out of the number one slot in the batting order since the halcyon days of Shannon Stewart.
