With the news that Josh Beckett has been pushed back to Game 3 of the ALDS, perhaps longer, this changes the complexion of the series. No longer is The October Ace a definite to take the hill against the Angels, but the Red Sox will have to protect themselves and...

Devern Hansack was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket today. It

As far as professional baseball was concerned, Pawtucket Red Sox pitcher Devern Hansack was out of sight and out of mind after he was released by the Houston Astros in March of 2004, after four seasons in the minors. Instead of giving it another shot, Hansack returned...

Pawtucket Red Sox manager Ron Johnson would rather walk in his bare feet on a bed of hot coals rather than publicly criticize one of his players. Johnson didn

Billy Beane has been quoted saying that the first two months show you what you have, the next two are spent acquiring what you need and the final two is the playoff push (if applicable). Dan Duquette, a man before his time (remember Mike Gimbel?), also subscribed to...

This is not a typo. Any resemblance between the Kei Igawa who shut down the Pawtucket Red Sox on Wednesday night and the Kei Igawa who got lit up last season by American League batters was pure coincidence. Igawa, who

Last night, I participated in a chat over at New England Sports Country. Here are some questions I answered… “Why isn’t Devern Hansack in the equation for #5”? His #’s are worthy . . . in AA and Boston 2006, and AAA 2007 (his 3.61ERA....

For those of you who have followed our walk through the Red Sox lineup while we compared their 2008 prospects to their 2007 performance, we’re at it again with the final installment before our great summation in Friday’s column. For those of you new to...

The Red Sox have been a model of consistency this past offseason, a striking departure from their modus operandi in 2004. For the most part, the 25-man roster is settled except for the bullpen, which is shaping up to be a battle for the last two spots. Running through...
