renteria had a shitty year...kind of glad too as he sold out from the birds for just a million or two more. Had to deal with Sox fans riding his ass all year. Change of scenery might be a good thing and will probably be hearing all you Sox fans bitch and moan next year about how good a year he is having, why couldn't he do it last year, etc. Got to see him win 2 gold gloves and a couple silver slugger awards as well as being one of the best clutch hitters in the game while in St Louis. Very happy with Eckstein now for about 8 million less dollars and had a way better year than Renteria!
While Rentaria may have been bad last year, its not fair to rate him on one season. His season last year was better than Nomars last year or two. I think the problem was that the Red Sox let Cabrera walk. Although he was with the team for a few months, I think he was one of the better all around SS the Red Sox have had. He made clutch hits and was a vacuum in the field.
