Hey baseball fans! I just put up another ML”what would”B post on More Than a Fan. In every ML”what would”B alternative history post, I discuss what would have happened if a famous event in baseball history had gone differently than it did in reality. For my latest post, I wondered what would have happened if Mark Teixeira had gone to the Red Sox instead of the Yankees in 2009. If you want to know the answer, just click here.   Thanks for reading Baseball with Matt, where I’m bringing you “all the buzz on what wuzz”.

Via Ted's Army  |  February 19, 2013
As part of Pedro Martinez's Boston media tour since rejoining the Red Sox as a special assistant, he was interviewed this morning by Dennis and Callahan.

Will Middlebrooks is going into his first full year with the Red Sox, taking over as the everyday third baseman and putting together the pieces that he hopes will make him a staple in the Boston lineup for years to come.

Via RedSoxLife  |  February 18, 2013
On Friday Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli underwent an MRI on his ailing hip to see if the vascular necrosis (AVN) had worsened since the original diagnosis.

The memories most Red Sox fans share about J.D. Drew are not exactly fond ones. His younger brother hopes to make a different impression this season — his first in Boston.

Red Sox's pitching rotation for Spring Training Feb 21-25

Via RedSoxLife  |  February 19, 2013
The Boston Red Sox released their starting rotation for this week's Spring Training games, and really, there is nothing special or telling about it. The first couple of weeks, pitchers are randomly selected to pitch about 35 or so pitches and get their work in. Relievers start games, and starters sometimes close games. Many times, they are not even trying to get the batters out...

Pedro Martinez tossed on a uniform and joined the Red Sox at camp in Fort Myers on Monday. And while Martinez won’t be brushing hitters back any time soon, it’s clear the former Sox hurler still has plenty of passion for the game of baseball. “You know what?

Ben Cherington gives his opinion on Jacoby Ellsbury as a distraction

Via RedSoxLife  |  February 17, 2013
Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington took all of 38 seconds to discuss Jacoby Ellsbury and the possibility that the injury-prone center fielder could be a distraction to the team this season. Cherington gave a canned and somewhat boring answer when asked about his prized leadoff hitter, but that’s not to say Cherington isn't thinking long term. With Ellsbury under a one...
