| Punto likely in shortstop mix: The Red Sox have not yet determined who will replace recently-traded Marco Scutaro as the team's starting shortstop, but Nick Punto is preparing himself for an expanded role. Punto told WEEI.com, As of right now, on paper, it looks like theres definitely some playing time so Ill prepare for that and Im excited about the opportunity, Punto got the majority of the starts at third base for the Twins in 2006 and 2007, but he has started 234 games at shortstop in his career.

| In recent years, Punto has been a utility player, and he could still wind up in that role this season. However, he has a legitimate chance to be Boston's starting shortstop, as he is a solid defender. Punto is not known for his bat, though, and even with regular starts, he will merely be an AL-only option. (Updated 01/25/2012). |
