    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    Luis Tiant: just barely six feet if that, crazy delivery, injury history, brilliant early career, not great 28-30, great ages 31-35, not bad 36-38

    Who plays 1B next year?

    This seems good: "Ramirez's shoulder is pain-free, according to Dombrowski. Dan Dyrek, Boston's director of sports medicine services, met with Ramirez's conditioning consultant, and Ramirez will be working out with Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz in the Dominican Republic."...

    Talk to me about the Sox of the early 80s...
