Damned if you do...

SPORTING GOODS

A tour of the Sox blogs suggest that people are happy with the Alex Gonzalez signing. I'm pretty neutral, at least he fills the hole and will give us good defense, but then again so did Pokey and he was useless overall.

Hardball Times' daily news guy Lee Sinins let his feelings be known with the headline: "Around the Majors: Red Sox Help the Yankees."

He points out that Alex Gonzalez will soon join an illustrious list of the worst ten on-base percentages vs the league average, for players with 3500 at bats. That's pretty putrid. Worse than John Flaherty putrid. Hey, two of the bottom six on one roster, sweet!

Edited to add: And that is bottom 10 all time, not just active players.
