Red Sox
Fast fact: .293, 12 HRs vs. righties; .167, 1 HR vs. lefties. Lowdown: One of best-paid ($5.6 million) bench-warmers in the game; he would never have landed in Boston if Toronto didn’t pick up half the freight. Hinske’s primary usefulness will be his ability to give time off to both corner infielders and both corner outfielders, and as a lefthanded bat off the bench.
