The Red Sox need to look to the future and not the present. Shane Victorino is fast approaching the end of a remarkable career. His contract expires after this season and it appears his legs have also expired.
Daniel Nava is a perpetual feel good story, but his limitations are clear to anyone who observes his outfield play. There is no Gold Glove in his future, but the potential for an Iron Glove does exist. Nava’s career roller coaster and age, limit his long-term and short-term as an asset to the Red Sox.
