Fire Brand: Why Red Sox should not sign Mark Teixeira
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog —
Fire Brand: Why Red Sox should not sign Mark Teixeira As the Lars bonfire continues… While signing Teixeira and trading Mike Lowell are possibilities, it would mean investing money in a position that we do not have foreseeable issues at for the next two years and perhaps beyond, if Lars Anderson develops into the hitter we all know he can be. In today’s day and age, flexibility and a propensity for young players are valued. What better position are the Sox in, then, with Lowell and David Ortiz free agents after the 2010 season and Lars Anderson chomping at the bit to hit the ...

... has a nice piece about Julio Lugo. He asks a very interesting question: Could Julio Lugo be next year's Coco Crisp? Personally, I don't think it will happen, and Tim is not predicting that it will, but as Tim points out, the situations are eerily similar. * * * * There also some good discussion about the log-jam(s) that the Red Sox are facing right now.

... I have to admit, I’ve only recently come to this conclusion, and was impressed by some of the arguments put forth by Evan Brunell at Fire Brand of the American League. (I don’t share his love for first base prospect Lars Anderson, since I think prospects exist to be traded, still he made some fine points.) Brunell notes that adding Teixeira is shoring up a position (first base) that doesn’t need to be improved — unless, of course, you think David Ortiz is done. And do we really believe that? I don’t. I think he was hurt last year, plain and simple. ...
