Yep, it’s Monday again. The Hot Stove is now the Mildly Warm Stove. And with all this quiet time, we look back to look forward. With links, of course. Looks like the Red Sox are shifting down a few gears in the offseason. And with hindsight, that Ryan Dempster...

While some are dubbing this Red Sox vs. Phillies series as a World Series preview, we need to see a little more consistency first. The Sox are 2-4 in their last two series against two not-so-scary teams and the rotation is starting to unravel a bit. As it stands, the...
