Michael Morse is one of the few options remaining in the trade market that the Boston Red Sox should make a run after. The Washington Nationals recently signed Adam LaRoche to a two-year deal, and he will be manning first base instead of Morse. The Red Sox would still need to give a couple solid [...]

A little over a month ago, the Boston Red Sox agreed to terms with slugger Mike Napoli to be their primary first baseman with a 3-year, $39mm dollar deal, and yet there has been no formal press conference, no real news, and much speculation as to why this deal is not finalized.

One of the Red Sox needs this season is a first baseman. There are several options, including Mike Napoli and Adam LaRoche.

By ⋅ November 2, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Chicago White Sox recently declined the $13 million option for the 2013 season on Kevin Youkilis.

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 20 (8-17 – 8-23)

By ⋅ August 25, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

In last week’s wrap-up, I mentioned how I wanted Henry Rowengartner from the film “Rookie of the Year” as my fantasy closer. Now, if I had to choose the best fictitious hitter to have on my roster, it would probably have to be Pedro Cerrano from “Major League”. Oh, and I don’t mean the Buddhist [...]
