Thought you’d seen the last of Julian Tavarez? Not so fast… While you most likely have, Tavarez accepted his option for assignment to AAA Pawtucket and as noted in the Boston Herald Clubhouse Insider blog he most likely took the assignment to give the Red...

The Milwaukee Brewers have tossed their hat into the ring for Julian Tavarez’s services, so the Sox may be able to extract a legitimate prospect for Sexy Lips after all. I can’t say I’m surprised at this news because a couple days ago when I was...

With the Milwaukee Brewers coming to town, I went looking for some information on the Brewers. Al’s Ramblings was more than happy to answer my questions… The Brewers were considered by many to be the sexy pick to win the Central last year, but fell to the...

Clay Buchholz has shown glimpses of brilliance in his young career. His last three starts since giving up an eighth inning two run home run to Akinori Iwamura in Tampa Bay after a brilliant one hitter to that point have not been that brilliant. Since Iwamura’s...

Does Theo read Fire Brand? A few weeks ago, I said that I thought it was time for Julian Tavarez to move on. Rather than option Craig Hansen, the Sox designated Sexy Lips to make room for Sean Casey. Expect Tavarez to be moved to the Colorado Rockies.

Quickly updating a busy day for roster moves; Alex Cora was activated from the DL and will start for a still woozy Julio Lugo at SS tonight.

The Colorado Rockies have continued to talk with the Red Sox about acquiring Julian Tavarez to bolster their stumbling rotation, which has seen Mark Redman, Ubaldo Jiminez and Franklin Morales not perform up to expectations. Rockies GM Dan O’Dowd signed Tavarez...

Another season, another Month to Month! The Red Sox got off to a pretty good start. There’s been a ton of storylines so far this month, but for the most part, the team has come hot out of the gates, proving that perhaps they weren’t overrated after all....

It’s time to let Julian Tavarez go. The man’s not pitching. After 23 starts last year for us, he virtually disappeared in September and wasn’t even considered for a postseason roster spot. He came out of the gates rather early this year but has...
