The Andrew Miller experiment failed. The Franklin Morales patch-up attempt was OK, but he still walked over four left-handed batters per nine innings and has posted xFIPs of over four against them for the past two seasons. Once again, the Red Sox should be in the...

There’s just not a whole lot that can be said after a club gets swept by the worst team in baseball. Maybe “worst team in baseball” is a bit unfair to the Baltimore Orioles, but they earned that title by entering the weekend’s series at 4-18 (.181 winning percentage)....

It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish. Ask Tim Wakefield. Wakefield, known for his lack of patience to start innings, gave up three early runs in the second inning. But, Boston knew that Dontrelle Willis would eventually crack. He did just that....

Dontrelle Willis resembled the pitcher who was the 2003 National League Rookie of the Year with Florida. Michael Bowden resembled a pitcher who could be an American League Rookie of the Year. Willis allowed two runs over 7 2/3 innings during a rehab start Wednesday...

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...

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...

I hate being mean….. LaTroy Hawkins signs with Yankees for 1 year, $4 million Hawkins is the first of a few moves the Yankees have to make in order to find a diamond in the rough at the setup man spot in their bullpen. With Joba Chamberlain moving to the...

Did you know that the trading deadline is a scant two weeks away? There’s always a lot more bluster than there is actual trading and that’s been the case the last couple of years, but there are some tangential rumors out there involving the Red Sox. The...
