I think they should have given him another year, but I guess it really just wasn't working out.

Lugo was a HUGE fail. Not even getting into that.

Jed Lowrie and Nick Green, are again, okay. Just mediocre though. They're good by the positions standards basically anywhere else, but on a championship contender team it just doesn't cut it.

Alex Cora pretty much falls into the same boat as Lowrie and Green.
I wasn't counting Lowrie. I have seen so little of him at Shortstop that I just didn't count him. And Nick Green has been doing ok.

And Mike Lowell is just spectacular. That Mike Lowell/Beckett deal has payed off in the long run.
