The Red Sox did want Brian Giles. With Jacoby Ellsbury struggling, Giles could have led off and played some right feld, with J.D. Drew moving center. And Giles could have been DH insurance should David Ortiz experience further problems with his troublesome left wrist. But Giles didn't want to leave the San Diego life.
The Red Sox head into their series finale against the White Sox on Monday losers of 16 straight one-run games on the road. They could use Giles. Acquiring Mark Kotsay would be a good substitute, and he can play multiple positions in the infield, which would allow Mike Lowell to take a breather in order to rest his injured hip.
