Who should be the backup outfielder? (Assume you have the power to trade Coco or have him stay and be happy and can only have one backup OF.) * Brandon Moss 48% of all votes * Coco Crisp 36% of all votes * Bobby Kielty 3% of all votes * Other 3% of all votes Moss was...

Brandon Moss, who tied yesterday’s game on a home-run in the ninth inning has been optioned to Pawtucket. It marked the first time a major league player had hit his first big-league home run in the eastern hemisphere. Moss started today as well in place of Drew...

The stage was set for Daisuke Matsuzaka to have a big showing, but Brandon Moss and Manny Ramirez stole the spotlight. Down by one in the top of the ninth inning, Moss, who had an RBI single earlier in the ball game, drove a Houston Street low and inside fastball over...

Bobby Kielty, who hit the decisive game-winning homerun for the Red Sox in their sweep of the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 World Series, has inked a $800,000 deal with the Red Sox. Like the Kyle Snyder and Sean Casey deals, this deal is also not guaranteed, giving the...

The Boston Red Sox have added first-baseman Sean Casey to their team for a scant $700,000. Casey, who possesses a career .301 hitter (.296 in 143 games last year for the Tigers squad) does not have much power but can hit for high average, which is great as a bench...

On Friday, we looked at the 2008 ZiPS projections for the Red Sox, which sees the Red Sox as the best team in the American League. I’m not seeing it. I see some flaws — big ones. Fortunately, we can correct (or minimize) these flaws. To me, there are two...

On October 20th at Fenway Park under the bright lights, he found redemption. All year, he struggled to find a niche in his new home, with fans already against him being there. It was a long, taxing year for him personally as his son struggled through a malady of...

Even though not much attention is paid to bench players, they are often an important cog in a team’s success. Right now, the Red Sox’s bench is looking terrible. We have no backup catcher and the one with the greatest chance of returning hasn’t hit...

Well, the Red Sox made a free agent move today (no, not Alex Rodriguez, folks) and made their arbitration tenders and nontenders. And they are… Red Sox sign Jon Van Every. Every hit .344/.416/.583 in 151 at-bats for AA Akron (Cleveland). He went up the ladder to...
