There’s been a lot of talk throughout Red Sox Nation both in the media and the blogosphere about who should catch for the Red Sox: Jason Varitek or Jarrod Saltalamacchia. On Wednesday, Peter Abraham at the Boston Globe weighed in with some interesting thoughts on...

…Nothing, really, but I guess there isn’t a ton of things to write about this time of year. Before spring training started, I hit on a few things to look for this spring. One of them was about Jarrod Saltalamacchia, walks and how a his approach might carry...

The Red Sox have a big problem on their hands — maybe. While the Yankees are staring down the possibility of starting Sergio Mitre as their #5 rotation-mate, the Sox are staring down the barrel of a different gun — that of Jarrod Saltalamacchia beginning...

Adding Rod Barajas may not be a bad idea at all. As it stands today, the Red Sox do not have a foundation-level catcher. This was something we were all aware was going to happen as we ended the Jason Varitek-era. There was no catcher of the future. Remember what it...

In one of Boston’s quieter trade deadlines in recent years, the Red Sox came out as modest sellers when the deadline expired at 4:00 pm July 31st. The club’s biggest move – the selling of middle reliever Ramon Ramirez – served more to show the front office’s...

With Thursday’s game still pending, the Sox look to their three-game weekend series in Texas, back 5.5 of the Yankees; up 1.5 on the Rangers in the wildcard. This is a big set – don’t take it likely. The Sox should fare well in the home run haven of...

Ok, the season has started. So here is my quick write-up on the AL West, along with very quick predictions for the remaining divisions. LA Angels of Anaheim: 86-76: The one thing that I am not sold on is that a team like the Angels are solely summed up in their run...

Jason Varitek, you ended my dream. It may have been a long shot, but it’s over. And although having you back at least fills the backstop, it does crush my desire to have nine league average hitters in the Red Sox lineup. Potentially now, eight of them, now...

Peter Gammons: Boston wouldn’t part with either Clay Buchholz or two out of the Justin Masterson/Nick Hagadone/Michael Bowden trio for Jarrod Saltalamacchia. What do you think? Should Boston have parted with what the Rangers wanted? Sounds like a straight up...
