As Ben Cherington begins the unenviable, yet extraordinarily challenging, task of rebuilding the Boston Red Sox, he’ll be faced with a number of roster decisions over the next few months. Still, before he can even begin to think about making trades or signing...

With the news out of the Bronx that Derek Jeter is now sidelined for the remainder of the Playoffs with a fractured ankle, it seems like as good a day as anyone to discuss the future of the Shortstop position for the Boston Red Sox. All options are indeed better than...

Coming off of the heels of a 69-93 season, their first 90 loss season since 1966, the Red Sox are in desperate need of a roster makeover. While many have already turned their attention toward the shiniest assets of the Hot Stove season, Ben Cherington and his crew...

As the Red Sox embark on yet another hunt for a new manager, the availability of John Farrell has come up yet again. After a second straight disappointing season north of the border, the Red Sox are hoping that Toronto will be more willing to move on from Farrell as...

The Boston Red Sox have a lot of issues to face this offseason, but none may be more significant that the question of what to do with Jacoby Ellsbury. The 29-year-old Center Fielder will be coming into his last year of team control in 2013, and with agent Scott Boras...

With decisions to be made in center field for the Red Sox (which I wrote about here), an intriguing player to consider in center field is Jackie Bradley. a supplemental first round pick in 2011 out of the University of South Carolina, Bradley has rocketed through the...

After the disaster that was the end of September 2011 and the entirety of the 2012 season, it’s time for the Boston Red Sox to try to figure out how to improve the team. General Manager Ben Cherington realized that the team needed a change, which led to the...

I haven’t seen an official list of the potential replacements for Bobby Valentine yet, but if there is one, then I hope Pawtucket Red Sox Manager Arnie Beyler’s name is on it. Of any of the potential internal candidates (Gary Tuck, Tim Bogar, Dave Magadin), Beyeler is...
by chipbuck | Oct 5, 2012 | Bobby Valentine, Boston Red Sox
Well, Red Sox Nation. We can all finally breathe a sigh of relief. Our years of suffering under the Bobby Valentine regime is finally over. Wait, I’m sorry what was that? We weren’t suffering under Bobby V’s tyranny for years? Really? How long...
