Paul Byrd goes against Freddy Garcia; two pitchers both returning from the dead. Garcia held the Yankees to three runs in six innings last time out, so he may be rounding into form. The ChiSox certainly aren’t; they’re collapsing. A sweep would be nice; I...

New Poll Question:Who should be Papelbon’s primary setup man? Daniel Bard: Closer of the future, setup man of present. Hideki Okajima: He’s done it since ’07. Billy Wagner: Throws lefty, too filthy for words It’s going to be a legitimate...

Paul Byrd now holds the title of latest savior of the Red Sox rotation – or latest in the revolving door of fifth starter candidates, depending on whether your coffee mug is half full or half empty today. Proud holder of a fourteen-year career touring eight...

According to MLB.com’s beat writer, Ian M. Browne, the Red Sox have agreed to a minor league contract with Paul Byrd. This is welcome news, as the Red Sox could use more depth in the minors. I would guess he would only need 2-3 weeks of work in the minors before...

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Paul Byrd. Byrd, acquired from the Cleveland Indians during the latter part of the 2008 season, served the Red Sox very capably out of the back of the rotation spot and was an integral part in getting the team all the way to...

As expected, Jason Varitek declined arbitration. Paul Byrd did the same, so the Sox are still likely on the hunt for a starting pitcher. The Red Sox have been hotly linked to two players: Seattle’s Willie Bloomquist and Tampa Bay’s Rocco Baldelli. Buster...

Buster Olney had a chat up today with two interesting tidbits… Heard this informed speculation this morning — Beckett, Lester, Matsuzaka, Byrd in Games 1-7. It’s hard to start Wakefield against the Rays because they run so well. This is a pretty...
