A few nights ago, I had another ill-advised argument regarding Matt Albers on Twitter with a certain Baseball Tonight anchor who shall remain nameless. It wasn’t pretty. Unlike last time, I won’t give you a play-by-play because quite frankly, we both came...

For all the pain he has caused Baltimore fans in the past few years, it raised a few eyebrows when the Sox inked Matt Albers 10 days ago. The soon-to-be 27 year-old has endured a relatively rocky Major League career, posting a 5.11 ERA over 317.3 IP. Totaling just 1.3...
