With nowhere to play following the total revamping of the infield, Tony Graffanino said that he has been told by the Red Sox that every effort will be made in the upcoming weeks to trade him to a team that will allow him to start at second base. Graffanino, who was the Sox? primary second baseman after being acquired from the Kansas City Royals July 19, lost his job when the team acquired Mark Loretta from the San Diego Padres. Graffanino was exploring deals with other teams when the Red Sox surprised him by offering arbitration. The 33-year-old accepted (before reaching an agreement on a one-year, $2.05 million deal), but arrived at spring training behind Loretta and Alex Cora on the second base depth chart. ?It?s an awkward situation, but one I feel I can handle,? said Graffanino, who batted .319 in 51 regular-season games with the Sox. ?I?ll do my business and let everything else play itself out.?
