New Poll Question: Better or Worse: Jason Varitek’s Average in 2009? Coming off a career low batting average of .220 in 2008 and one of the lowest averages for a primary catcher in the past ten years, will Jason Varitek be able to right the ship and break the...

Earlier today for MVN Outsider, I commented on the poor economy and how the Arizona Diamondbacks are taking steps to ensure that the consumer can still afford to go to a game while clubs such as our beloved Red Sox are content to squeeze us out of every last dollar....

Last December, Sox Director of Player Development Mike Hazen released a statement to announce that the ultra-versatile Casey Kelly will both pitch 100 innings and play shortstop in a way that provides both the team and himself greater flexibility for the long haul,...

John Henry has made his opinion clear… Henry believes that Major League Baseball should implement a salary cap. Or at least seriously explore it. Larry Lucchino shares Henry’s belief on the matter. Do I? I wouldn’t mind it. But when followers of the...

It felt very good, today, listening to the panel of gurus on MLB TV agree with Baseball Prospectus that the Red Sox are most likely to win the powerful AL East in a hard fought 3-way race. Their reasoning was sound, but due to time constraints they didn’t tell...

Dice K-slash-BB. Not Dice K-slash-Walk ratio. Daisuke Matsuzaka is like no pitcher that I have ever seen. Not to this degree. Not this many appearances. But the entertainment is there. And that is what it is all about when one gets down to it, whether they want to...
