absintheofmalaise said:Why do you think that Holt was just a throw in in the trade? From a Cafardo article from last year:
I really like Holt, but he's a utility player. The best position for him, if he were to start, would be second. He doesn't have the bat for the corner outfield or infield positions and he doesn't have the range or arm to play short.
I think he's a utility player for the Red Sox, because Dustin Pedroia. But as a starting 2B he'd be an upgrade for more teams than not.
