With all the talk about whom the Red Sox should go out and try to get at the trade deadline, there hasn’t been much discussion surrounding some of the players they should avoid. And trust me when I say – there are a lots of guys who aren’t close to worth their...

Last week we took at look at the Bottom 5 Moments from 2012, if you missed that you can check it out here. This week, thankfully, we’re back with a (somewhat) more positive look at the previous 12 months. Even in a season that saw the Sox manage only 69 wins to their...

Much of the attention this offseason has so far (rightly) been focused on who will be in the lineup and rotation for the Red Sox. But what about who will be coming off the bench? These players, while their value is less than those of starters, will still play...

As CBSSports.com’s Jon Heyman reports, the Red Sox are intent on signing three hitters: Mike Napoli, Nick Swisher and Cody Ross. Yeah, those are the three wise men I made an awful pun of in the headline. I’m awesome. All three fit within the Red...

Dear Evan and Chip, Hi, it’s Scott. I know I haven’t written a lot lately, and I’ve been incommunicado. On the latter, I’m on vacation in San Francisco (I know, I should have told you) but I’m writing anyway because, well, I’m...
