Sveum's only experience as a major league manager came in 2008, when he managed the Milwaukee Brewers for the final 12 regular-season games, plus four playoff games.

With Sveum out of the running for the job in Boston, that leaves Blue Jays first-base coach Torey Lovullo, Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. and Tigers third-base coach Gene Lamont as the current group of candidates for the Fenway dugout. GM Ben Cherington has not ruled out the po...

Prince Fielder is one of the best sluggers around. I will happily admit that. He’s a below average first basemen...

Players A to Z, Koyie Hill
Koyie Hill catches in a backup capacity for the Chicago Cubs. Hill owns an extremely poor major league hitting record, with both his career OBP and slugging percentage below .300. With hitting like that one would expect him to be a defensive wizard. That wizardry turns out to be tough to detect, and both Baseball Reference and FanGraphs rate his defense poorly. He’s slightly...
