A question of relevance

Posted by Eric Wilbur, Boston.com Staff July 9, 2008 09:30 AM

Dan Dumont gives a pretty good roundup of the 20 most irrelevant Red Sox of the past 20 years though I might have saved the likes of Tim Naehring and Carlos Quintana for omissions like Pat Rapp and Bob Zupcic. If we want to get down to real, honest-to-goodness, “Who?” irrelevance, we can go all night with guys like Chris Snopek, Ed Sprague, and (easily my favorite name in Red Sox history) Gar Finnvold.

Darren Lewis is on the honorable mention list which is sort of odd too, considering Jimy Williams found the man far too relevant over a four-year stretch.

Another item to note. Remember, Kevin Romine and Randy Kutcher played on the same team for multiple seasons. That’s like the Red Sox of today saying, “You know, one Kevin Cash on our bench isn’t enough. We really need two of them.”

Speaking of, who makes this list 20 years from now on the current roster of players?
