Another week gone by, another poll to vote in! This time around, first base is a topic of discussion in the Red Sox community. With the news Boston inked Mike Napoli to a one-year deal, it appears as if the starting first baseman job is set for the Red Sox. However,...

It’s that time of the year where baseball is so close, yet so far away. I can’t stand these once-a-week football games, even if the team I cheer for is doing well. Too stressful. The Red Sox like this guy who’s relatively cheap, is now expendable for...

Good businesses make money in the margins. Think about a restaurant. Think about a medium-rare filet mignon with potatoes gratin, sautéed broccolini, horseradish cream and port reduction that costs 28 dollars. Sure, that gets you in the door but it is not where the...

For those not following the sabermetric updates Baseball Prospectus has attempted to create a new pitching statistic that improves on all those before it. This new stat is called SIERA or Skill-Interactive Earned Run Average. This takes the work of Nate Silver who...

Lot of twiddling our thumbs right now as we wait for the free agent season to officially kick off. Let’s take a whirl throughout the rumors in baseball and see what’s going on… Out west, the San Diego Padres are committed to trading starter Jake...

Red Sox starting pitcher Julian Tavarez statistics aren’t of the all-star caliber variety but Tavarez is easily one of the most reliable pitchers on the staff. For a pitcher who has started and relieved for Boston this year, Tavarez (7-9), was much more than...
