There seems to be an anti-Red Sox sentiment amongst all these comments despite the fact that they just finished up a 12-game winning streak, have won 14 of their last 15 games and were 16-2 against the National League. I can see the Varitek thing because he has been somewhat slow out of the gate this year and combined with a weak finish last year has not hit well for close to an entire season but this Loretta attack seems a bit much. Of course I don't watch these other second basemen the way I've watched Loretta, but after hitting around .230 for pretty much of the first two months of the season he has pushed himself up over .300 thanks to a great June and I think he deserves to be there.
These are your 2006 MLB Some-Stars!
