Bill James has come out with his new handbook for 2009, and in the handbook are the early statistical projections for players next year. This may be especially significant in the case of the Red Sox, as James has a vast amount of knowledge of players in the Red Sox...

A.J. Burnett, Jesse Litsch and Roy Halladay will all pitch on short rest this weekend against the Red Sox. They’re seven games back of the wild card with 17 games left. Mets/Phillies fans will recognize the “seven games with 17 left” quote. Looks...

Per Ken Rosenthal: The Red Sox are planning a major push for Blue Jays right-hander A.J. Burnett, according to a rival executive. Burnett, 31, is almost certain to opt out of his contract and become a free agent at the end of the season. Since joining the Jays in...

Vernon Wells started the game with a two-run shot and ended it with a solo-blast putting the finishing touches on a rout of the Boston Red Sox beating them 11-0. Jon Lester did not make it past the third inning, 2 1/3’s innings, en route to giving up seven runs...

The Red Sox hit a bump in the road over the weekend and through Monday in the Metrodome, losing three of four mainly due to lackluster starts from Lester, Wakefield and Buchholz. Still, Boston sits above its competition in the American League with a 24-17 record and...

The Toronto Blue Jays are being picked as the team to upset the Red Sox and the Yankees. At least Bob Ryan thinks so. I think otherwise and here is why. Vernon Wells is not the same player of old and the pitching has to stay healthy which I do not think it will. Most...
