I have long argued that the Red Sox should have kept Orlando Cabrera, a point that has only been underlined by deals like Renteria's (total bust) and Lugo's (room for improvement, but they still overpaid). But I may have just read the best reason for letting Orlando walk, courtesy of Gene Wojciechowski at ESPN: "Center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who apparently hits nothing but doubles, was taken with the Orlando Cabrera pick." Theo is a genius! Ellsbury is the fastest manboy in the world! I'm so happy!
