    Your Red Sox Blind Spot

    Lynn McGlothen. One of the first players (with Moret) who I followed from the low minors. I thought he would be the new Bob Gibson and I was crushed when he was traded for Reggie Cleveland or Rick Wise (can't remember which). He had a couple of good seasons with the Cards and quickly faded...

    Red Sox Rotation 2014 and Beyond

      Respectfully disagreeing...   I think it is unlikely any team gives significant salary relief by taking Dempster, which is a suggestion I think several posters have made.  If we want to free up the roster spot, we will need to subsidize him heavily.  If we want value in a return player (as...

    Protecting the Shields -- The Nick Cafardo Thread

    I just read today's column and I would like to know if anyone else took it as a major slam on Shoppach, that teams are avoiding him because he's a jerk.
