An ERA of 9.00
For all the major acquisitions of this off-season, the Boston Red Sox will enter the 2006 campaign with a pitcher who has a career ERA of 9.00. Fortunately, he hits a littler better than that.
New Red Sox second baseman Mark Loretta threw an inning of relief for the Milwaukee Brewers during the 2001 season. Though he did give up a hit and an earned run in that appearance, Loretta also struck out two major league hitters. Okay, one may have been a pitcher, but he still struck out a major league hitter.
Loretta’s versatility may come in handy for the Red Sox this year. In addition to being a career .300 hitter, he’s played all four infield positions and some left field. Not bad when you consider all the Red Sox gave up was a catcher who only caught every five days.
