Well, this stinks if true. Jed Lowrie may or may not have been the future at the SS position. Now, the organization and its fans may or may not have to wait and find out. Not good news. But the club will find someone to give them some decent play at the position. ...

Finally. Opening Day is here. … or at least, it should be, barring the barrage of rain that threatens the very sanctity of this day; indeed the rain may come so fast and furious that our exalted Opening Day may be delayed until Tuesday. On this day, every team...

The 2009 Boston Red Sox are in the final stages of preparing for what is certain to be an entertaining and exciting season. The spring is finally behind us, the roster is set and the team is moving northward to christen Citi Field with some Major League talent. Now...

Dustin Pedroia strained a muscle near his ribcage during Team USA workouts on Friday. It’s not anything to be concerned about, but this next piece of news is. Julio Lugo may have torn his meniscus in his knee and word is he will undergo arthroscopic surgery on...

David Ortiz – Samara Pearlstein Sit down with a big cup of coffee, because have I a treat for you. I participated in a chat on Tuesday night and they have made the transcript available for Fire Brand to peruse. Enjoy… Do you think that the Red Sox will be...

If pitching rotations were made up of all Jamie Moyers, then maybe Julio Lugo would be the best option at the shortstop position. But pitching rotations are made up of multiple arms, different arsenals, and some pitchers that are much better than Jamie Moyer. And...

A couple years ago, The Fielding Bible took baseball by storm with John Dewan’s Plus/Minus system to evaluate fielders. This year, he’s back at it with The Fielding Bible–Volume II in which he takes all the metrics created in the original volume and...

Julio Lugo has been the whipping boy for Red Sox failures these last two years. Can we expect him to contribute in 2009? Everyone has pretty much put Lugo into the utility infielder’s position, but could he surprise and retain his starting shortstop position?...

17 of the starting 25 Red Sox for 2009 have much to prove this season. Of this number, 15 are rebounding from injuries which plagued 2008. This is not a bad thing, as the entire team will be extraordinarily motivated to do well, to win, to pull together and help each...
