Alex Cintron got the start at second base tonight. If the Sox have to use him, that's going to the best place for him, since he can't throw the ball very well this year. For the record, Alex went 1-4 tonight.
Starting tomorrow night, it'll be the beginning of the Danny Richar era. Richar's been killing AAA pitching - he's hit .345 for Charlotte, and .305 overall in the PCL this year with an aggregate .870 OPS. Don't know how good his glove it, but Iguchi wasn't showing much range at second base this year, so he's probably not going to hurt the Sox out there.
A couple of commemorative Iguchi moments:
Iguchi's 3-run blast off of David Wells in the ALDS
His gravity-defying throw to retire one of the Molinas
I'm gonna miss Gooch, he was one of my favorite players over the past couple years - apparently, when Ozzie broke the news to him, he burst out crying in the locker room.
