M-to-the-Izzy
Earlier in the offseason I took some flack for suggesting that Macier Izturis could ( and should) be the Halo's everyday shortstop. Turns out that Bill Stoneman and Theo Epstein have a similar opinion of the younger Izturis (via Rob):
The Angels are extremely impressed with shortstop Maicer Izturis, acquired from Washington in the Jose Guillen trade this past offseason. "This guy is an outstanding defensive player at short or second," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "I would have no fear playing him every day. He moves the ball around and can hit." The younger (by six months) half brother of Gold Glover Cesar (the Dodgers' shortstop) hit .338 with 57 walks and 30 strikeouts at Triple-A Edmonton. Boston tried to deal for him after the Angels got him from Washington, but GM Bill Stoneman would not budge.
So Stoneman loves the kid. I'm not sure if that validates my point or not...
