Felix Doubront's Tough Start Is a Reminder He's Still a Rookie, Adjusting With Each Start
BOSTON –– It's normal to forget that Felix Doubront is a rookie. Prior to Tuesday's 5-3 loss, Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine recognized the fact. In Doubront's first four stats, the lefty was arguably the most effective pitcher in the rotation, having allowed 10 runs over 22 innings. For a rookie –– a first-time, full-time starter –– there will be shortcomings...
Red Sox place 3B Kevin Youkilis on 15-day DL
The Red Sox have placed third baseman Kevin Youkilis on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained back.
Boston made the move Wednesday and also promoted Triple-A prospect Will Middlebrooks to take Youkilis' roster spot.
Youkilis had been a late scratch the past three days, and manager Bobby Valentine said he has improved but wouldn't have been able to play for at least...
Will Middlebrooks Called Up, Will He Be Worth It?
The word on the street is that Will Middlebrooks has been called up to replace the injured Kevin Youkilis. Or maybe Youkilis was so upset at Bobby V’s comments on him not trying that he is pretending to be injured. Either way, Middlebrooks is up and Youkilis is down. So what can we expect from Middlebrook and is he a must-add on your fantasy baseball team?
Middlebrooks had...

Red Sox Sign Mark Prior and Give Cook a Start
The Red Sox have signed pitcher Mark Prior and plan to have him stay in Fort Myers to build up arm strength. If Prior can get his form back it will give Valentine some more options in the rotation.
In other Red Sox news, Aaron Cook will start Saturday in place of Beckett who will be pushed back a day.
Why Clay Buchholz’ Cutter is Fool’s Gold
Clay Buchholz is off to a horrid start in the early goings of his 2012 season. He does have 2 wins but his ERA sits at 8.87 and his WHIP is a disgusting 1.93. After his last start against the Minnesota Twins there were reports that he looked much better, but in all honesty, besides some sharper movement on his breaking stuff I thought it was another weak effort. If Buchholz were...
