Why Would Tim Wakefield Go to the National League?

By ⋅ November 19, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Tim Wakefield‘s declaration at the end of September that he wanted to return to the Red Sox made perfect sense: if the team wanted him back, why not? The fans have always loved him; he needs just seven wins to break the team’s career wins record; and figuring out what to do next – every [...]

Red Sox Set to Sign Carlos Beltran?

By ⋅ November 8, 2011 ⋅ One comment

With J.D. Drew’s horrific contract and passionless play finally vacating right field at Fenway Park, newly appointed general manager Ben Cherington must decide who should man the territory near Pesky’s Pole for the 2012 season. Will Cherington give internal options Josh Reddick and/or Ryan Kalish a chance to prove themselves? Or will he look elsewhere [...]

N.L. East Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ March 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

This division is STACKED. Hell, the Phillies alone have enough starting pitchers to lead your team to glory, and no, that’s no exaggeration. Aside from that, there is an abundance of young hitters, some with 30+ HR potential. You know what? Just draft solely from the N.L. East and you actually might win your league. [...]

Red Sox Interested in Carlos Beltran?

By ⋅ December 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After the acquisition of Adrian Gonzalez, the Red Sox now may be looking for an outfielder. When Jayson Werth reached a ridiculous deal with the Nationals, Carl Crawford’s price tag went through the roof, which could mean he’s too expensive for the Sox. Also, Crawford is a lefthander with limited power, so perhaps that may [...]

Carlos Delgado Signs Minor League Deal With Red Sox

By ⋅ August 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In the wake of the injury to Youk, the Red Sox have signed first baseman Carlos Delgado to a minor league deal. Delgado was sidelined early on in 2009 during his last season with the Mets with hip problems, and hasn’t played since. With Boston’s premier first baseman out for the season, signing Delgado became [...]

SoB MLB Power Rankings 7-6-10

By ⋅ July 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Welcome back for another edition of the SoB Power Rankings for Major League Baseball. This edition is jam packed with thirteen teams getting nods for the ten spots, yet only one dropping from the rankings. And eight teams have either kept their previous spot or moved just one. The Twins’ recent slide out of the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 13

By ⋅ July 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s only another week until the All Star Game, and there’s still no clear contenders. The Yankees are the first to 50 wins, and the Braves are the first to 30 home wins, while the Orioles still haven’t reached 10 road wins. Minnesota has been slipping, and is now tied for the division lead with [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 12

By ⋅ June 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s almost All Star time, and with Interleague Play over, plenty of teams have padded their leads, or taken some. The Red Sox have been dipping into the take-an-injury, leave-and-injury tray quite frequently, but are still holding their own. Philadelphia is still trying to get back into the race, while Stephen Strasburg and the Nationals [...]

SoB MLB Power Rankings 6-21-10

By ⋅ June 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Rays aren’t doing so well lately, and it’s cost them. They’re now tied with the Red Sox, and dropping in our rankings. After Mark Teixeira’s grand slam, the Yankees are back on top alone. Now, they’ll visit Arizona, for three easy wins. The 2001 World Series probably still has the Yankees hating. The Rangers [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 11

By ⋅ June 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week gone, and another tumultuous time for the standings. The Mets are back in the running, for now, and the AL Wildcard race is in a virtual tie, just 1.0 games behind the Yankees. The Rays finally dropped out of the lead, having spent more time leading the division since April than in the [...]

SoB MLB Power Rankings 5-10-10

By ⋅ May 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With the three other leagues possessing power rankings of their own, it’s time for baseball to get its due. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the topic, every second Monday KC and I, and hopefully more as we get our mojo working, will select our picks for the best 10 teams in baseball, [...]

With Bay Now in New York, Beltre is the Answer

By ⋅ April 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

When the New York Mets signed free agent Jason Bay, initially the optimistic Mets fan in me was ecstatic. A true RBI man and a doubles machine was on his way to New York to wear my team’s orange and blue. Even with the great statistics, Bay brought to the Mets something that scared me: [...]

MLB Predictions 2010: Lowell Won’t Be Traded, Mets Will Win NL East

By ⋅ April 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

This will hopefully be a weekly list of rants and meaningless predictions that have no validity whatsoever. It’s just designed to be a fun look into the possibility of what may come in the world of Major League Baseball. Enjoy it and feel free to add your own Nostradamus insight each week. FACT #1: The [...]

Bay State No More

By ⋅ January 8, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

After weeks of speculation, Jason Bay and the New York Mets announced a deal to bring Boston’s Canadian import across state lines. After rejecting offers from the Red Sox during spring training, the All-Star break, and after the season for up to four years and $60 million dollars, Bay and his agent Joe Urbon held [...]

Jason Bay Reaches Deal with Mets

By ⋅ December 29, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

We all knew Jason Bay was most likely never going to sign with the Red Sox, so the news that he signed elsewhere should not come as a shock to our system. Mike Francesca of WFAN in New York reported earlier today that Jason Bay and the New York Mets have agreed to a four-year [...]
