The Red Sox coin-on-a-string

Found April 23, 2009 on Bugs & Cranks:
PLAYERS: Kason Gabbard,  Eric Gagne,  Doug Mirabelli,  Curt Schilling,  Jeff Suppan,  Brandon Lyon

The Red Sox are up to their usual tricks. From MLB Trade Rumors: The Rangers have traded left-hander Kason Gabbard to the Red Sox for cash considerations… Gabbard was a member of the Red Sox just a few years ago, but was traded in 2007 as part of a package for Eric Gagne. Haven’t we seen this before, trading Doug Mirabelli only to get him right back? Trading Josh Bard, only to re-sign him, only to drop him again? This isn’t like one GM trading away Curt Schilling or Jeff Suppan or Ellis Burks in one decade, then another GM trading for or signing him in another. This is the Red Sox trading Brandon Lyon to the Pirates on July 22, then...

Schilling a Yankee? Please don’t let that happen

Via Bugs & Cranks  |  April 17, 2008
I hate to agree with the mouth that never sleeps, otherwise known as Curt Schilling, about anything, but I think New York Yankees' fans will happily go along with comments the mouth made Tuesday about never wanting to pitch for the Yankees. Yankee fans don't want him in pinstripes, either. Schilling ...

Kason Gabbard back with Sox

Via Sox Addict  |  April 23, 2009
Kason Gabbard has been traded back to Boston from the Texas Rangers. The Sox had to give up cash to get back the pitcher that they used as part of the cornerstone in getting Eric Gagne in 2007. Now if only they could get David Murphy for next to nothing (he’s starting the [...]

Dirtlocker points for: Curt Schilling Curt Schilling isn't just wrassling with Congress, he's now engaged in a dispute with his employer, the Boston Red Sox, over his readiness to start the '08 season. The issue: a bum shoulder. The disagreement: what to do about it -- and whether Schilling's cond...

O’Day reported to Rogers Centre for a game against the Toronto Blue Jays before there was a chance to stitch up a jersey with his name, [...]

Casual Friday: Pitching Tidbits

Via Lady At The Bat  |  April 24, 2009
The Yankees are all about the pinstripes, in every sense of the word. The rest of MLB is more casual. This is the latest post in a Friday series called Casual Friday, in which I take a quick look around the rest of Major League Baseball.* Good pitching stops good hitting. That saying couldn't have been more true this week in Florida where Pirates pitching cooled off a red-hot...

Embrace The Web, Or Give Me Your Clients

Via The Sports Agent Blog  |  December 10, 2008
As an athlete, you are on a tight rope. Do you play the safe route, keep your mouth shut at all times, and only worry about your play on the field to earn your dollars? This route can actually play against you. Teams are looking for athletes who are marketable, can sell tickets even if they have "off games", and sell merchandise year-round. You also may get criticized for not...
