One of the biggest difference we’ll see between the 2011 and 2012 versions of the Boston Red Sox is their revamped bullpen. Ace reliever Jonathan Papelbon has taken his services to Philadelphia; fireballing set-up man Daniel Bard has been moved into the...

And the hits…err…injuries keep on coming… As I mentioned on Monday, the Red Sox placed struggling starting pitcher, John Lackey, on the disabled list with a strained right elbow. On Tuesday, they put another right handed starting pitcher on the shelf with...

The Pawtucket Red Sox’ season opener Thursday night was notable not only for who played but also for who did not play. Ex-Yankee Alfredo Aceves was tabbed earlier in the week by manager Arnie Beyeler to start against the Rochester Red Wings. But approximately an hour...

Is there any article about Michael Bowden that doesn’t make reference to the Aug. 21 debacle against the Yankees. It’s bad enough that we have to deal with relievers small sample sizes, but if we’re going to boil a pitchers skill down to 2 IP then...
