The Red Sox have found their shortstop, agreeing to a two-year deal with free agent Marco Scutaro (pending a physical), FanHouse has learned.Scutaro, 34, last season hit .282 for the Blue Jays, with a .379 on-base percentage, 35 doubles, 90 walks (seventh in the AL) and 100 runs scored. In eight seasons with the Mets, A's and Jays, Scutaro has a career .265 average.
He also ranked 11th in the AL in times on base (256) and 12th in runs. His 90 walks as a leadoff man were second in the majors to the Angels' Chone Figgins.
Boston had been seeking a shortstop after using Julio Lugo, Nick Green, Jed Lowrie and midseason pickup Alex Gonzalez last year.
Scutaro was third among AL shortstops in fielding percentage (10 errors in 621 total chances) and fifth in range factor (4.39 putouts plus assists per nine innings). The Fielding Bible credited him with 12 "runs saved," fifth among big-league shortstops.
The Blue Jays will receive the Red Sox' first-round pick in the 2010 draft as well as a "sandwich" pick after offering arbitration to Scutaro, a Type-A free agent.
