The Red Sox recently picked up Alex Gonzalez and I’ve heard a lot of scuffling from Reds fans. A few Reds fans told me, if you’re expecting the same Alex Gonzalez you had in 2006, you’re going to be extremely disapointed. A-Gon’s range has...

The longer the Rangers stick around the more I feel like they’re here to stay. With the way Ian Kinsler is swinging the bat he throw the team on his back and carry them into October. With a 27-28 record on the road, the Rangers really need to pull things...

MLBTR via Rob Bradford at WEEI is reporting that the Sox could be close to a trade for Cliff Lee. The purported deal is Lee for Bowden, Josh Reddick, and one other prospect. What do you think? Personally this deal makes more sense than Halladay given I don’t...

Like most of you I expected to hear 1,500+ calls for Hanley’s return, but few materialized. Perhaps the piece about his immature attitude towards the FO, or the Fish announcers defending his lack of hustle, or his 5th E at SS, or poor base running have given...

So many decisions for the Sox this week. Although part of me knows they will be carefully made, and will be accompanied by personal discussions with each player before announcements, this team seems so buttoned down I half expected the decisions to be posted when I...

After another solid, but hardly perfect, start from Brad Penny yesterday I have to wonder again what to do with Clay Buchholz. In case you had not heard, Clay came within three outs of throwing a perfect game in Louisville (Projo piece on...
