A lovely story:

Fontenot? Forgotten man has suitor(s)

Not sure why Lou has buried him when he was hitting and playing decent this year, but acc. to MLB trade rumors.com, the Red Sox were interested in adding him to replace Pedroia before they added Eric Patterson. They could still be interested.

Pretty sure Theriot or Fontenot will be moved before July 31.
