Defensive Difference
I just saw the difference Jason Bartlett makes for the Rays. With the score tied at four and the Red Sox with men on first and second, Lugo hit a hard shot toward shortstop. Bartlett didn't have time to get in front of the ball, but he was able to back-hand it on a short hop and start a double play. Given the play of the Devil Rays shortstops last year, that ball probably goes through for a hit and a run.
Update: The Rays turn another nice double play, 3-6-1 in the top of the 11th, and then win the game when Crawford singles and steals, then after a walk, Nathan Haynes singles in Carl. The Rays win 5-4.
