John Danks needs one more win to set a single-season career high in victories and move over .500 in his career. He’ll be opposed by John Lester, who now is the Red Sox’s career leader in strikeouts by a left-hander in one season. Should be fun.
Via Twitter, Amalie Benjamin (or as the FOXSports announcers would have you believe, ‘Molly’ Benjamin) says that Daisuke Matsuzaka will make another rehab assignment Wednesday — the location to be determined.
The Dice Man started for Pawtucket on Saturday and was not pleased with his breaking ball command. Sox officials said they hoped to squeeze one more minor league start out of Matsuzaka.
After the start, Dice-K will rejoin the BoSox. It remains to be seen who he will replace in the rotation. The two candidates are obviously Paul Byrd and Tim Wakefield. My guess? Wakefield looks like he’s still hurting a ton, so they’ll give Wakefield a breather and work Matsuzaka in. What say you?
The rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees even extends to the major league draft.
Both the Yankees and Red Sox worked out David Renfroe about two weeks before the draft – where New York had the 29th pick in the third round and Boston had the 28th.
Boston pounced on Renfroe, 18, who reminds scouts of Casey Kelly – the Red Sox’ first-round pick in the 2008 draft who’s a pitcher and a shortstop.
