*** I’ve been hinting at my feelings on this topic in recent posts, but I’ll directly sum up my opinion now: priority #1 for GM Theo Epstein should be the pursuit of free agent Mark Teixeira. I think we’ve been spoiled in the past 5 years by the combination of David Ortiz ...

In an effort to save time (and because the crop is extremely top-heavy at both positions), I’m combining the Red Sox prospect ranking of first basemen and third baseman. In case you missed them, check out the rankings of outfield prospects and catching prospects in the Boston minor ...

The trade of CF Coco Crisp for Royals reliever Ramon S. Ramirez has been confirmed. What do we make of it?
Personally, my feelings on the deal are mixed, but slightly leaning towards a thumbs-up. One one hand, the Red Sox are giving away more than they are getting in terms of pure value. ...

According to a sports radio station in Kansas City (relayed to yours truly via Rotoworld ), the Red Sox have shipped Coco Crisp to the Royals for reliever Ramon Ramirez. I’m hoping the report is accurate at this point, because I just sponsored his Baseball Reference page for the bargain ...

The item currently on the front burner of the 2009 Hot Stove Season is a potential Red Sox-Tigers trade . The deal would send one of Dontrelle Willis or Nate Robertson (both starting pitchers) to the Sox for SS Julio Lugo.
While many Red Sox fans might relish the idea of shipping the ...

In case you missed it, check out my ranking of Boston’s top 5 catching prospects here .
In my next installment, we’ll cover outfielders, an area where the Sox have a bit more minor league depth. Most of the guys on the list are raw talents at this point. They have high ceilings, ...

As you wait for that severance paycheck to get deposited into your overdrawn bank account, here’s some good news. Sensing that the typical baseball fan will be less solvent this year than in years past, the Boston Red Sox have elected to not raise ticket prices in 2009 , the first price ...

The weakness that perhaps ultimately led to the demise of the 2008 Boston Red Sox was the lack of quality bats on the bench. We had Alex Cora, Kevin Cash, and Mark Kotsay (I’m not considering Coco Crisp a bench player in 2008). Those guys are decent defensive replacements, but being ...

As our nation approaches an Election Day which will be remembered throughout history, there are two choices in front of us. One is old, unreliable, and is essentially a giant heaping of “more of the same”. He’s done courageous things in the past, but we cannot use his past ...

If the sea of red in this image is evoking any memories from the catacombs of your mind, they are likely from a brisk October afternoon 4 years ago. In full disclosure, despite the snarky indifference displayed in my last post, I’m happy for this fan base.
Oh, but I’m sure the ...

Joe Buck’s final call was a terrific microcosm of the entire 2008 World Series:
“The Phillies are World Champions.”
That’s it. A monotone 5 word summary is all that is needed. No pithy puns, no witticisms are warranted here. Buck nailed the call. You probably ...

I figure this would be a great way
to begin my position-by-position Red Sox prospect analysis, as
our incumbent catcher is a free agent this offseason. I’ll be going into greater detail on that situation in a separate post. Like most ...
When the Red Sox season ends after a string of intensely contested marathon games, I find it helps preserve my sanity if I take a short hiatus from baseball. Honestly, I had my fill of national broadcasters after being subjected to the festering vomit offered by TBS. Fox Sports is an ...
