The Sox need bullpen help and I’m sure they will be exploring all avenues and options to improve things in 2011. There are some unique opportunities out there as well as the standard free agent options. One of those options has pitched in the AL East for the...

The bullpen will be a major focus of the Sox brass this offseason. Outside of Papelbon and Bard there was a big lack of consistency in the pen in 2010 and a major reworking could be in store. Aside from the pen, there are some big name free agents the Sox may try to...

For the Sox, the offseason is now. This is no time to worry about what would have happened if injuries hadn’t hit hard or if John Lackey wasn’t so damn inconsistent or if Tito should have taken Dice-K out an inning earlier on some night in June. It’s...

We have officially hit the off season and can continue to root against the AL East for the next few weeks or so. If you are like me, you will be rooting for the Texas Rangers and old friend David Murphy or perhaps the exciting, yet overlooked Cincinnati Reds. As long...

Now that the Red Sox are officially out of the playoffs, we will resume laying out the winter plan. We already discussed the need and what it will probably take to bring back Victor Martinez. The second major part of the off season to-do list is to figure out the...
