It's long overdue. It's time to recognize Nick Green for all he has accomplished this year. He has turned into last year's Jed Lowrie. Big hits, big RBI, steady in the field. His walk-off homer today gave the Sox a 6-5 victory over the Braves.
Green is a guy who labored in triple-A with the Yankees all of last year. He went to Spring Training with the Sox just try to make the team as their utility infielder. Look at where he is now.
In my latest podcast I said that it will be difficult for Lowrie to get his job back from Green. Green's play on offense & defense has made Julio Lugo a distant afterthought of breaking back into the starting lineup. Green has also allowed the Sox the luxury of not being rushed to make a move at the shortstop position until Lowrie is fully rehabed. Lowrie & Green may be just the right combination for the 2nd half of this season.
It's nice to see Nick Green making the most of his opportunity.
