There were two American League outfielders who posted an OPS of .880 or higher in 2012: Mike Trout (.963) and Josh Willingham (.890). Needless to say, finding an outfielder who can put up that kind of production is rare in the recent low-offense environment, and it’s...

Part of me wonders why last night’s blockbuster trade between the Blue Jays and Marlins caught so many people by surprise. In hindsight, all the ingredients were there – at least from Toronto’s perspective – to do something huge. Over the past few years, the Blue Jays...

Boston’s search for a new field manager continues and it will do so without the option of Mike Maddux, who withdrew his name from consideration. There are still some intriguing options out there, but managerial changes always make me wonder, “How much does...

Last week, I was channeling my inner Mark McGwire when I triumphantly declared that I was not going to talk about the past, but instead focus on the future. While I don’t plan on taking it quite to the extent Darryl alluded to on Sunday, I’m hoping to...

There has been a lot of talk about how bad the September pitching was and a lot of blame has been placed on the “fried chicken and beer” theory, but 2011 came down to a lack of pitchers making healthy starts. In September the Red Sox staff had 14.2...

Today is the final game of the season against the accursed White Sox, stealers of Carlton Fisk. Josh Beckett has given up 12 home runs in his last four starts (!!!) while Mark Buehrle is 2009’s Mr. Perfect. Curt Hennig would roll over in his grave if he knew...

If you’ve been dissatisfied with Victor Martinez since he joined the Boston Red Sox, there is something wrong with you… OK. I’ll bite. I’m dissatisfied with Victor Martinez. It’s been almost impossible to argue with his production thus...
