Basically 1/10 or 2/14. Some people might look at last year and say he’s not worth it, or that it’s a merely a push — but I think the Red Sox just made another great signing. His value doesn’t come from his usually slightly-above average bat, but his insane glove.

The dude could be a shortstop. He’d be a better shortstop than Derek Jeter, that’s for sure. I want one of these compilation videos for Scott Rolen. Get on it, internet.
