As appealing as it may be to trade Julio Lugo, I think we got it right on this one. Let’s get his feet wet this year and then integrate him in 2009. Who knows, maybe Lugo can hit .280 and we can dump him on a NL team. The Red Sox realize a sunk cost when they know one; they won’t hesitate to eat money.
