He was a good, sometimes very good, hard-nosed player for the Red Sox..albeit, disappointing in the end. But was he a better, tougher or grittier player than say, Bill Mueller? That's a reach, IMO, considering the run Mueller had between 2003-05. Trot stayed teflon in Boston, even at the end when he struggled horribly. His last good season was '03; the championship year he only played 40+ games. I understand why Nixon deserves the ovation he'll no doubt get. But to me, his last 2+ seasons (in his prime years) were ultimately disappointing. Either way, give him a big round of applause. </p>
