Sure there was the 20+ innings pitched in Triple-A before his callup and a few good starts for Andrew Miller, but there is a reason he has been passed around do often. Miller has control problems and no matter how hard he throws left handed he can’t compensate...

With the non-waiver trade deadline having recently passed; the waiver deadline bearing few fruit in terms of rumors; and September call-ups right around the corner, I thought I’d take a little bit of time to examine who the Red Sox might consider promoting once...

While Tim Wakefield and Alfredo Aceves have stepped up big-time filling in for John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka, we have to be realistic about our expectations for their future performance. Wakefield hasn’t posted an ERA or FIP under 4.50 since 2008 and...

photo © 2009 Eric Kilby | more info (via: Wylio) Slowly but surely, Pawtucket Red Sox lefty Felix Doubront is starting to resemble the pitcher who’s so highly rated by Boston. Doubront took his latest step forward Monday night by tossing 4 1/3 solid innings as...

photo © 2008 Keith Allison | more info (via: Wylio) Last night, the Sox took a painful loss to the only team in the division with a worse record than their own. Tampa Bay struck early and often, pounding Daisuke Matsuzaka for eight hits, two of which left the yard,...

In news we all saw coming. The Red Sox have designated Dennys Reyes for assignment. There was no way they let Reyes walk onto the field for opening day at home. Along with Matt Albers headed to the 15 day DL the team needed two pitchers to add to the bullpen. Called...
