I would be a liar if I didn’t admit that the thought of adding Todd Helton to the starting 9 is a very heady idea..but right now, that is pretty much all it is…
The big story this weekend is that Colorado has approached the Red Sox about the possibility of trading Todd Helton (and his […]

That is how long it took for the Sox to work out the “minor language issues” with J.D. Drew and his agent, Lou-Cipher…Apparently the protection the Sox were looking for has been agreed to– the ability to void the contract’s final 2 years if his right shoulder fails in the 3rd year. If aninjury occurs […]

And yet another backup catcher: The Sox have agreed to terms for a minor league contract with Kevin Cash, who also has received an invitation to Spring Training. I guess, after last year’s debacle with ‘Tek and Mirabelli, and then having to go and get the completely uninspired and unmotivated JV Lopez to fill in […]

Here is something to set the Roger Clemens fan’s teeth a-grinding–all 3 of them–and I mean FANS, not teeth…If Roger decides on the Skankees–Robinson Cano will give up his #22 so Roger can have his number (he will take 24) Well, DUH…Like the boy would have a CHOICE–is he really going to tell ROGER CLEMENS […]

How many more days can actually go by without there being anything Red Sox Newsworthy? And there is NUTHIN…the big news today? Oakland Relief pitcher Justin Duchscherer signed a 1-year $1,187,500 contract yesterday….whooo hooo….
It’s gotten so bad that even Stupid Dan hasn’t written a column since January 10–not that I am complaining–I am just using […]

I never really imagined Trot leaving…I always thought that Theo would get the STUPID deal done with “Just Dangling” and he would then sign Trot to be at least a utility player..
But, at least if he has to go somewhere, Cleveland isn’t a bad place to go…I like Cleveland, my Dad and friend Warren are […]

Boomer coming back?: David Well may not be done after all–The Padres has made an offer to try to entice him to forgo retirement for another year. If he does stay with the team, he will join Greg Maddux (also part of the greatest…commercial…ever…) in a rotation that is older than most…and people complained that […]

Arbitration is a funny duck–the basics are this: the Player submits a number, based on what he thinks he is worth (which is usually more than realistic) and then the Team submits a number THEY think the player is worth (which is usually less than realistic) and then an arbiter decides–unless the player and the […]

With 78 days until April 2, and 32 days to Spring Training, one would think that there would at least be SOMETHING to write about….well, guess what, there is precious little Red Sox News….At 39.5 days and counting, the JD Drew saga is creeping closer and closer to biblical proportions..with no end in sight. Satan […]

To bring news of the Red Sox–Two days in a row! Be still my heart….
Stuff from the Boston chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America dinner and awards ceremony held last night:
With Jonathan Papelbon in town to receive the Best Reliever, Fireman of the Year and Rookie of the Year Awards at last night’s […]
