Now that the Red Sox have traded Marco Scutaro, will they bring up Jose Iglesias or play Mike Aviles?
-- Jake S., Cary, N.C.
The competition in Spring Training figures to be between Aviles and Nick Punto. Iglesias needs more at-bats in the Minors, because he's had some trouble staying healthy. That said, Iglesias will have the full attention of manager Bobby Valentine during camp, and it will be very interesting to see what kind of impression he makes. If Aviles and/or Punto don't stand out, you could very well see Iglesias taking over by midseason, if he makes the necessary development offensively.
