... Casey's at the Bat in Boston: Sox, Casey Have 1-Year Deal Globe Archives: Casey Steps in with Local Priest to Fight Hunger in Lawrence A communications major in college, Casey makes Kevin Millar of the Sox look bashful by comparison. His nickname on the Reds is the ''Mayor," because he has a word for everybody, including sportswriters, whom he stunned one spring at the Reds training facility in Sarasota, Fla., when he sauntered into the press room, introduced himself and welcomed them, all before even saying ...

Someone Still Has a Use for Sean Casey

... Today the calendar turned to February. That means it's time for one of my favorite times of the Major League off-season; the part where all the washed up veterans sign contracts with teams to fill out rosters and when their name comes across the ticker you say to yourself, "Ohhh, man! So and so's still in the league?" Today Sean Casey signed with the Red Sox to back up ...

Sox get 33-year old first baseman Sean Casey. In Little League, there were two kids who were buddies, who both played for my team, with my dad as coach. Their names were Sean Egan and Shane Casey. My dad (almost as a pre-cursor to him calling my later-in-lfe friends Chan and Andy by one name, "Chandy") referred to both Sean and Shane as "Sean-shane."

... Naw I'm just kidding. Sean Casey for $800,000 and 1 year is a good deal and it gives us an option when Youk or Lowell need to sit. The guy hits for good average (but no power) and can KILL lefties. I love that. Anyone who can do that gets a special gold star in my book (it's a picture book). ...

Red Sox Sign Sean Casey
Published 2/2/2008 by redsock at The Joy of Sox
Boston signed Sean Casey to a one-year deal for either $700,000 or $800,000. This is a solid pick-up for the bench -- good LH bat with some OBP, knows his way around 1B -- and he beats the hell out of Hinske (to say nothing of the Thermos(!)).
