Imagine how many bases Lugo could steal if he could actually get on base more than once a week.
true. posting a .275 OBP as a leadoff guy doesn't bode well for a guy who's making $36mn over 4 seasons. if the sox' lack of patience for non-productive shortstops is any indication of what's to come, lugo will not likely outlive his contract in a red sox uni.
I'll settle for Lugo getting on base just once a week.
