Quote:

The Red Sox recently offered Mark Loretta to the Tigers for some pitching, but Detroit shot down their offers. With Placido Polanco out with a seperated shoulder, Boston inquired about Zach Miner, Wilfredo Ledezma and Jamie Walker. Loretta had three hits in both games of the Friday's double header against the Yankees.

Interesting. Although I know we've got Pedroia in the minors waiting for his shot, I'll be sad to see Loretta go at the end of the year.

Quietly puts up solid numbers, works the count most of the time, not the best range but still a solid defensive player, and kills the Yankees pitching.
