Sox Show Interest in Lacky

During the General Managers’ Meetings in Chicago this week, Theo Epstein met with John Lacky a great pitcher, on the Angeles. So I am guessing that we have interest in him. In 2009 he left the season with a 3.83 ERA, with eleven wins and eight losses. If we get him he would be a huge boost to our pitching [...]

Varitek is Returning

I am happy Jason Varitek exercised his $3 million player option to stay with the Red Sox. He will be returning in the 2010 season as a captain back up catcher for the first time. .He is such a faithful red sock, if he went it would be sad to see him go. In 2009 he finished the season [...]

Victor Martinez

Victor Martinez has been amazing since the Red Sox got him on August 1, 2009. When he first got the news that he was traded to Boston, he had mixed feelings because he was loyal to the Indians for seven straight years and he was planning to retire there.  On the other hand, he was [...]

Ortiz Tested Positive in 2003

I am disappointed that David Ortiz may have taken a performance-enhancing substance.  According to the latest leak, Big Papi’s name is reportedly on the list of players who were tested (supposedly anonymously) in 2003 and whose results came back positive.  Even if the leak can be trusted, there is much that we do not know, including [...]

Victor Martinez is Coming to Boston

I am thrilled that the Red Sox got Victor Martinez, the switch-hitting catcher-first baseman from the Cleveland Indians, in exchange for Justin Masterson, the right-handed pitcher from the Boston Red Sox, and two other minor league prospects. In 2009, Victor has 15 long balls and 67 runs batted. Justin  has a 4.50 ERA and [...]

Ryan Howard vs. Albert Pujoles

I think Albert Pujoles or Ryan Howard will win home run derby. Albert has 32 home runs so far this season and is on track for 64. Howard has 22 long balls and is on track for 44. The way this season is going, I think Pujoles will win the home run derby. Even though [...]

Halladay coming to Sox?

It would be great if the Red Sox could get the All-Star pitcher Roy Halladay. This year roy has a 2.79 ERA and a record of 10-2.  Over his lifetime, he’s pitched 43 complete major league games. The Toronto Blue Jays‘ GM said they’d listen to offers for Halladay. The Jays are in the same [...]

Teixira vs. Youkilis

Kevin Youkilis, and Mark Teixira are two very similar players. Youk is hitting .314, with 14 home runs and 47 RBI’s. Teixira is hitting .278, with 20 dingers and 60 RBI’s. In April, Kevin  missed 13 games with an oblique injury. Even though Youk missed 13 games, I think that Mark deserves to play in [...]

Francona

Almost everything Terry Francona does is right, like sticking with David Ortiz even when he had the worst batting average in the American League.”It’s been hard on him,” Boston manager Terry Francona said. “He’s handling it better. He knows we need him. We’ve gotten a lot of pats on the back the last six years [...]

Why Lowrie?

Red Sox fans are excited that Jed Lowrie is coming back, but maybe they are too excited. Nick Green has been great. In 2009 he has 25 RBI’s and 4 home runs already.  One of those dingers happened yesterday, a big walk-off bomb against the Braves. Green is hitting .293. In 2008 Lowrie went yard [...]
