For the first time, Aaron Cook will have the best infield defense the Red Sox can offer.

From right to left: James Loney, Dustin Pedroia, Jose Iglesias, Pedro Ciriaco. Not a one of whom can't flash the leather with the best of them. The middle infield in particular should be an absolute vacuum.

The question will be whether or not he can do anything with it. The infield defense will only work for Cook if Cook is working like he should. And Cook isn't always working these days.
