    Lucky Lucchino losing power?

    http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/07/18/baseball-talking-about-expansion/ty33Xdhj9Ez6tqEB84TwcK/story.html     I wonder how much there is to this. LL gets a lot of flack from fans, but all in all he must be doing something right because the team has been really successful with him as CEO...

    Are we being/going to be Haynesworthed by Sandoval?

    So for those that don't know, Albert Haynesworth was a huge NFL star. One of the best defensive linemen in the game and the Washington Redskins signed him to a 7 year 100 million dollar contract. A good deal of it was guaranteed. He was an absolute disaster in Washington, and according to many...

    Why is Stephen Drew still here?

    I want to preface this by saying, I like Stephen Drew. I think that apart from some injury problems he had in 2011 and 2012, he's had a really nice MLB career. He's a strong defensive player and even with a league average bat he's still been worth about a 2-4 WAR through his career.    But he's...

    What do we actually have with Brock Holt?

    There's no question that Holt has been a fan favorite for the Red Sox. He's been one of the few fun parts about the 2014 team. I for one enjoy watching him play tons of different positions every week... but what can we expect from him in the future?  When he first started getting hot, people...

    Potential Roster Moves for 2014 and Beyond

      I would never want the Red Sox to lose against the Yankees... but I think one of the worst things that could happen this season is for the Sox to keep hanging in there to the point where we're not sellers and ends up missing the playoffs. Even if by some miracle the team made the playoffs and...

    Phillies Sign Grady Sizemore

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/06/phillies-sign-grady-sizemore.html I would have liked to see Grady stick with us and take a stint in Pawtucket until he figures it out, but I guess that wasn't in the cards. Hope it works out for him in Philly.

    Josh Byrnes Fired

    I was watching the Nationals game while I waited for the Sox to start and they said that Josh Byrnes was let go, no confirmation yet. I wonder if he joins the Sox or Cubs as a special assistant for the rest of the year before looking for another gig in the offseason.

    Best Defensive Catcher in Red Sox History: Nominations

    Hey guys,  We've done these kind of best ______ in Red Sox history threads before, and it seems like it might be fun to debate the best defensive players in the history of the club. So, let's have a round of nominations. Who do you think deserves a nomination for the best defensive catcher in...

    What happened to Jason Kubel?

    When you follow an offensively deficient team sometimes a name pops up that catches your eye. Today the Twins released Jason Kubel.  From 2007-2012 (6 seasons) Kubel slashed .270/.337/.474/.811 with the Twins and Diamondbacks. He wasn't an MVP type, but he was a productive hitter that wasn't...

    What to do about Sizemore?

    Grady Sizemore is healthy for the first time in a long time, probably early 2009. He's playing pretty good defense, his arm looks strong as ever... but he can't hit.  His power looks completely gone, he's slugging a pathetic .328 and he hasn't hit a home run since April 11th. Heck, the last XBH...

    Colin Cowherd: Yeah, he'll say it if no one else will

    Okay, so... the guy is kind of a clown. He's mostly just an entertainer and he's usually full of it... But today's show (at least the 20 minutes I listened to) was brilliant. He tore the Yankees to shreds over the Ellsbury signing. Some of his gems include: "Do you want to chase headlines, or...
