Just a thought. Jacoby Ellsbury could become the best leadoff batter in basseball, as well as the game’s premier Gold Glove center fielder. It’s true, as Tito says, that he is still working on things in ST, and his great 11-pitch at bat in the last game...

I was one of the very few people unhappy (extremely so) with Jason Bay’s acquisition at 3:59:59 on July 31st, so that will obviously color the reaction this piece, but try to hear me out. Why are we so desperate to extent Jason at this exact point in time? As I...

Dear Jason Bay, Mike Lowell & David Ortiz, Welcome back!!! It was really good to see you in a Red Sox uniform tonight. Jason, sorry Canada didn’t get deeper into the WBC, but you played well (in Center Field no less) and your honor and that of your home...

Nomar would have made a good addition for 50 -60 games at 3b, 1b. At $2-3M he would have been a bargain, his shirts would be back in style, and the healing would have been good. He and Orlando Cabrera have signed with the now formidable A’s. Manny, Abreu, Dunn,...

Following is a ‘cut and paste’ of the big “ifs” in the latest “Mazz” piece . . . or was it Ryan? Whoever, he predicted success “if” the following happens”. It’s a good piece, and gave the Sox high grades for...

It felt very good, today, listening to the panel of gurus on MLB TV agree with Baseball Prospectus that the Red Sox are most likely to win the powerful AL East in a hard fought 3-way race. Their reasoning was sound, but due to time constraints they didn’t tell...

So, here’s what’s going on with the MLB network this evening. Instead of hiding this story and saying “innocent until proven guilty” and letting the unofficial outlets like ESPN beat it into the ground, or simply pushing it under the rug with...

No one is saying anything so it’s time to start. Accusations are just that. And the other 103 names on that list will surely come out, so no one from any other team should gloat. This is a bad day for baseball, in the sense that the next home run champ will also...

Ben Sheets announced he will undergo surgery to repair his arm. Could it be the Brewers, Rangers, etc. rejected his high $$/multi-year demands because they weren’t comfortable with his long term health. Did he figure out that, with a combination of today’s...
