Although my time at NESN was far, far shorter than I hoped/expected, I’ve moved on to the next phase of my career which takes me to the MLB Facts and Rumors blog at CBS Sports. I’ll be writing alongside long-time Mariners reporter David Andriesen...

It looks like we can finally spend our time harping on other things this year like A low K/BB from John Lackey or Jonathon Papelbon instead of worrying about our short stop production. Marco Scutaro won’t be leading the box score every night or getting top...

I wanted to avoid writing about the pitching staff today, but the lack of strikeouts by our team is starting to get concerning. It’s not just a few pitchers, it is all of them. Anyway one thing I found today that I thought shouldn’t go unnoticed was Marco...

With trucks heading to Florida yesterday it’s a good time to look at the questions for what the Red Sox hope will happen in 2010. With breakouts and new levels of performance there is always the possibility of regression. That can also include getting better as...

Since Moneyball was published in 2003 there has been a clear misunderstanding of what the book meant. I’m sure much of this is by people who never read the book, but perhaps some who missed the message. The message that is spread and widely understood is that...

There is a difference between the Red Sox and nearly every other team in baseball – and it’s pretty obvious. How lucky are our home town fans, that our very own Boston squad has significantly more money to spend on players most other teams. Actually, all but one...
