Movin' on
The Red Sox have bid farewell to another two of the key players on their World Series team, both of whom are California-bound: shortstop Orlando Cabrera will be playing for the Anaheim Angels next season, and Dave Roberts - author of The Single Most Important Stolen Base In Red Sox History™ - will be playing for the San Diego Padres.
It was bound to happen sooner or later - Cabrera is surplus to requirements following the Red Sox' acquisition of Edgar Renteria, and Roberts - though happy to contribute in a Best Supporting Actor role last season - is good enough to be in most teams' starting lineup. I'll miss these guys in the Red Sox lineup, but I wish them well with their respective new ballclubs.
Update (& salute):
He may have moved on to greener pastures, but this will still be my favourite Red Sox jersey for a long time to come:
