Overhaul of Pitching Staff In Full Swing… Is Millwood or Washburn On Deck?
Saturday, November 26th, 2005The Red Sox pitching staff on April 3, 2006 is destined to be substantially different than it was on Opening Day 2005, both in terms of the starting staff and the relief corps… and it is almost assuredly going to be more healthy.
On Opening Day last year, Curt Schilling and Wade Miller were situated on [...]

Making A Splash! The Red Sox Reportedly Close to Acquiring Beckett and Lowell from Marlins
Monday, November 21st, 2005If the reported trade is consummated, I fear that the Red Sox are making the trade for the sake of making a BIG splash. And if true, I believe this deal will be completed at the behest of Lucky Larry Lucchino… who desperately needs to create a positive buzz after all of the [...]
Will Boston Have It’s Macha Moment?
Tuesday, November 15th, 2005In case you havent heard, ESPN’s Buster Olney has reported that Theo Epstein has experienced regret with respect to walking away from his post as Sox GM, and through channels he has floated the idea of reprising his successful stint in that role.

AL MVP to be Named on Monday
Monday, November 14th, 2005If A-Rod played anywhere except the Bronx in 2005 he would universally be considered the second choice in this year’s MVP balloting… with Boston’s David Ortiz the clear, near-unanimous Number One choice. But there is something about wearing pinstripes that causes the synapses to misfire among the voting electorate.
Alex Rodriguez certainly might [...]
Red Sox GM: The Moore the Merrier
Saturday, November 12th, 2005The easy thing for the Red Sox to do in finding a replacement for Theo Epstein would be to recycle a former major league GM, someone like former Expo/O’s GM Jim Beattie or former Reds/Nats GM Jim Bowden. And certainly, Red Sox management could easily justify hiring either gentleman, especially in consideration of the fact [...]
