This has been a busy offseason for the Red Sox front office, but things could have gone somewhat differently. According to Ken Rosenthal, the Red Sox had discussions with the Toronto Blue Jays about acquiring slugger Jose Bautista before signing Carl Crawford. Bautista, coming off a season where he led the American League in home [...]

If the day wasn’t bad enough for the Red Sox, free agent target Jayson Werth has agreed to a seven-year, $126 million deal with the Washington Nationals, according to Yahoo!’s Tim Brown. While it may come as a surprise, the Nats had a lot of money available after they missed out on Adam Dunn. The [...]

By ⋅ December 2, 2010 ⋅ One comment

If the reports are indicative of what’s to come, the Red Sox won’t be seeing Carl Crawford steal six bases against them in one game again. Red Sox brass and the free agent outfielder reportedly met on Wednesday at Crawford’s Houston, Texas home. Yahoo! Sports’ Tim Brown was the first to break the story via his [...]

Let the Hot Stove Begin!!

At 12:01am Sunday, exclusive negotiating rights of teams with free agents ended, and open season began. You knew the debate over Cliff Lee would be rough, but there is the question of affording him. Ditto for many other high-profile players. And while no big moves have been made in terms of new teams for free [...]

Is Jayson Werth Worth It?

By ⋅ September 26, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Since Theo Epstein was handed the reigns to the Boston Red Sox, the team has only failed to reach the postseason one time, in 2006. While the 2010 season is almost certainly going to become the second “failed” season for Theo’s team, it has been a year of understandable disappointment. Without Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, [...]

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 [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 14 (7-6 – 7-12)

By ⋅ July 14, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I’d like to talk about Joe Mauer for a moment. With 15 HR, Mauer is currently tied for the 24th most HR in the American League. He hit 11 of his 15 home runs in the month of May, which is the only reason his home run total looks decent. With 15 on the season, [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 12 (6-22 – 6-28)

By ⋅ June 30, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

I hate closers. I really, really do. I hate them in large format leagues (like the SoB 12×12 league) because they are basically worthless with 12 pitching categories and because if they have a bad outing it really screws you over. For example, this past week in my mideason league, I had Jose Valverde of [...]

Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 7 (5-12 – 5-18)

By ⋅ May 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I am writing this just a few hours after I saw Jon Lester throw a no-hitter against the Royals. I’d like to step away from fantasy sports for a minute and just take in what an amazing moment we saw in Boston. An inspirational story like Lester’s makes you just forget for a moment about [...]
