Here I was thinking that playing Pena was some sort of object lesson: "Gonna bitch about Coco? Look at his <i> replacement </i>!"
Despite the granny and win, the dude remains an enigma to me. I wish he could be slotted into a single spot so he could work at it and get better, rather than being bounced around so much.

He needs to be a DH. He will never have major league fielding skills. If he's going to stay on the same team as Ortiz, they need to play Ortiz at 1B, where he's not too shabby with the leather. And Youk and Hinske can play anywhere.

He's young, he's built to be a DH. He'll be here when Ortiz isn't. Sage words from the guy who sells newspapers at the Swampscott depot: "That guy is like Rice. They booed Rice, too."
