Turek - since the Yankees chose to move Arod to third in favour of the massively inferior Derek Jeter, some have argued that Nomar is now the best shortstop in the game.
Jiri - No, I'm a Jays fan, but I just cannot see any benifit to this deal for Boston.
They seriously downgraded themselves overall at short, and Meintkiewicz doesnt add much at all. Even with the addition of Roberts, I just dont see how the Red Sox have positioned themselves to pass either Texas or Oakland for the Wild Card.
I dont think they did anything to help themselves for the present, and since I believe that both Meintkiewicz and Cabrera are free agents after this season, they didnt do anything for the future.
