The fallback plan if the Red Sox cannot find a suitable shortstop is to have Dustin Pedrioa step in according to a report from ESPN Boston:
“They’ve asked me if I think I could play shortstop,” Pedroia told ESPN’s Peter Gammons. “They’ve put it out there and I’ve told them I’m all for it. I can do it. I can’t wait for [Terry Francona] to call me and ask, ‘can you do it?’ I can do it. I really want to do it.”
OK so now who plays second? Here’s the list of second base free agents:
Ronnie Belliard (35) – Type B
