The Brad Wilkerson signing is starting to make a lot more sense now, as Mark Kotsay will be out until at least May after undergoing back surgery. The strange thing about all this is that the Sox did not know (according to the Boston Globe) that he needed this surgery when they signed him, so you have to wonder if the Red Sox are pissed off about all of this. Anyways, Wilkerson can fill his spot for the time being, because he is also a backup outfielder/first baseman. He might be needed if the Sox have any injury problems with Rocco, Drew, or Lowell. I like Kotsay a lot, and the Sox shouldn't really need him till later in the season, so hopefully all of this will blow over and not be a big deal.
Plus the Sox always need his wife at Fenway...
