Pink Slip
Julio Lugo was designated for assignment today according to WEEI. Being DFAed allows the Red Sox some time to work out a deal, although I really cannot expect any team to bite, after all, this was done for the purpose of opening up a roster spot. Basically they said, we'll spend $13mm to make a spot.
This allows Clay Buchholz to join the team Friday night and if Aaron Bates gets demoted, we can expect to see Mike Lowell back as well.
As for Jed Lowrie, well he might not be here until Saturday which brings up the question, who is the back up middle infielder tonight?

So here'a another wacky question from me for my fellow Yankee fans (sorry if I offend the Red Sox clan for asking it here under this thread):
would Lugo, as a freebie, make a better backup IFer than Cody Ransom?

You beat me to it Mitchell, if the Red Sox ultimately have to release him I could definitely see the Yankees signing him for the ML minimum.

good one Mitchell (and Peter), good luck with that. Better off getting Giambi back to play backup 2b, ss, 3b...
