Since the revelation that Mike Napoli has been suffering from avascular necrosis, I’ve wanted to write about the necessity of an insurance policy at first base for the Red Sox. This column has been in the works for a while. Let’s face it, though: a full column about...

It’s a new day, and no, there has still been no news on the Napoli contract front. The two sides are evidently still apart on a contract, and while the Red Sox front office continues to express optimism that the deal will get done, there’s still nothing more...

After losing two of three to the Texas Rangers, the Boston Red Sox (55-57, 10 games back in the AL East) start a 10-game roadtrip with a 4-game skein against the Cleveland Indians (51-60, 9.5 games back in the AL Central). The Red Sox are 4-6 in their last 10 games...

Having lost two of three to the lowly Royals, the Boston Red Sox (12-18) return to Fenway Park to start a six-game homestand against the first place Cleveland Indians (17-15). First place? Somebody get Harry Doyle some more Jack Daniels. STARTING PITCHERS –...

by darryl johnston | Aug 21, 2010 | Bill Hall, Casey Kotchman
First of all, I would like to thank the Milwaukee Brewers organization for footing the tab on Bill Hall and most of his $8.5 million dollar salary. It’s nice every time Hall blasts a 400-foot shot over the Green Monster that I’m able to think, “Hey, that home run was...

Kotchman to Seattle With all the positive moves the Red Sox have made this off-season, it’s a bit curious that Casey Kotchman became the first player expendable in the wake of the Adrian Beltre acquisition. Following the trade, the party line claimed that Kotchman...
by Troy Patterson | Jan 8, 2010 | Casey Kotchman, Lars Anderson
I think Casey Kotchman should be a warning to any long term success we might expect from Lars Anderson. This is also just a discussion of their offense as Kotchman has a much better glove. Kotchman was a much higher draft pick going in the first round of the 2001...
by Troy Patterson | Jan 5, 2010 | Bill Hall, Casey Kotchman, Quick Post
It’s been spread on Twitter that Casey Kotchman is headed to the Mariners for Bill Hall, a minor league PTBNL and cash considerations. When I first saw this deal I was curious to what this accomplished, but after looking at the numbers this makes a bit more...
