Why do the Red Sox need Jose Cruze Jr?

Trading a couple of prospects doesn't make sence at all for a has been.

They need outfield help. The injury to Trot Nixon might keep him out until September, at the earliest. Plus, he gives you a good speed option for the late innings (like Dave Roberts was, maybe?) - and he's got a good glove.

I am happy with Kapler being the back up. At least he can hit a little.

Kapler made a pretty amazing catch to save the game this afternoon...

I was hoping the Sox would get one of these three - Burnett (this would have been awesome), Huff, or JC Romero. But, I really like the team just the way it is.
