Hey Bobby V! Grady Little called. He wants his slow hook back. Ok. Well maybe things aren’t quite that bad, but it certainly hasn’t been great either. In fact, I’d call Valentine’s penchant for leaving his starting pitchers in the game...

The Boston Red Sox (10-11) return to Fenway Park tonight after an almost perfect 6-1 road trip to take on the Oakland Athletics (11-12) in the first of a three-game set. The Athletics have played better than expected so far in 2012 but, as always, the question is for...

Considering the wave of injuries that have overcome the Red Sox pitching staff during the past several weeks, I think most of us figured the front office would focus on finding creative ways to shore up the pitching staff at the trade deadline. Apparently, not so...

Five teams…and I would be somewhat surprised if any of them won 90 games. But odds are someone comes very close to doing so. Cleveland Indians: By default, I choose the Indians. They have some serious question marks in their rotation. And they don’t...

“Coco won more games with his glove than Drew won with his bat.” -My Dad, after the 2007 season ended And he was right. In fact, Coco saved more runs in the field than anyone in 2007. The most above a replacement player. And the most above the average...

While most people are dreaming of an off chance that Dontrelle Willis could recreate himself in a Boston Red Sox uniform, there is recent precedent that might point towards not rushing Julio Lugo out of town quite so quickly. Tell me if this story sounds even remotely...

Coco Crisp – Evan Brunell We sure woke up yesterday to some staggering news, didn’t we? I don’t know about you, but I didn’t expect to hear that Coco Crisp had been traded to the Kansas City Royals for a reliever. The expectation was that Crisp...

When Johnny Damon bolted for the the New York Yankees in January of 2006, the Red Sox had a hole in center field. A few weeks later, enter Covelli Loyce Crisp as part of a six player trade with the Cleveland Indians. Boston sacrificed uber-prospect Andy Marte,...

Lot of twiddling our thumbs right now as we wait for the free agent season to officially kick off. Let’s take a whirl throughout the rumors in baseball and see what’s going on… Out west, the San Diego Padres are committed to trading starter Jake...

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...
