The Red Sox have shut down minor league pitcher Michael Bowden (stay tuned for Mike Scandura’s interview with him tomorrow) and the No-Hit Kid, Clay Buchholz, who as we all know, had a rough season this year. Hopefully he comes into spring training ready to do...

It’s only natural to forgive Charlie Zink if he’s envious of former Pawtucket Red Sox teammate Brandon Moss. Moss, of course, was one of the players sent to Pittsburgh in the three-way deal involving the Dodgers who obtained Manny Ramirez. Zink’s...

The Red Sox released Doug Mirabelli today, a move that comes somewhat of a shock to a lot of Red Sox fans. The player immortalized by Dougie’s Going Deep Tonight! was expected to serve as Tim Wakefield’s personal catcher. Mirabelli, who hit .202/.278/.360...

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....

One of the lesser talked about mates of the Red Sox this year has been Jason Varitek, which is curious considering that he’s making a large chunk of money and is, according to several different sources, the most important member of the Red Sox right now. The...

Greetings, everyone! With the loss to the Colts that I can handle but haven’t quite gotten over yet in the rearview mirror, I now am at a loss for the next 24 days. Sure, the Celtics are playing, but wake me up when its time for the NBA Lottery. The Bruins?...

Over the last three years, I have written an exhaustive review of nearly every single player in the Red Sox’s minor leagues. I called them the “Organizational Depth Charts.” While I may one day return to them, my life has been so crazy these past few...
