Edwin Jackson: Are Teams Missing Out On A Bargain?
The latest news today on free agent right handed starter Edwin Jackson has him willing to take a one year deal. The Red Sox have reportedly offer a deal between $5-6 million dollars. Jackson would surely be an upgrade over the pitchers Boston has signed this off-season, where they have picked such retreads as Aaron Cook, Carlos Silva and Vicente Padilla.
Edwin Jackson has multiple...

2012 Fantasy Baseball Boston Red Sox Starting Rotation Preview
Jon Lester (credits below) The 2012 Red Sox starting rotation is full of question marks and will most likely be undecided until late into spring training in March. If Clay Buchholz can remain healthy and the back end shapes up with Aaron Cook, Andrew Miller and a healthy Dice K, this staff could have plenty of sleeper potential. Keep an eye on the Red Sox situation this spring as...

The Pirates need more pitching
It's hard to avoid the conclusion at this point that the Pirates won't be making any more significant upgrades to their rotation. In the last few weeks two guys they seemed to have targeted this winter based on prior connections to Clint Hurdle -- Aaron Cook and Jeff Francis -- both signed minor league deals with contenders. Former Pirate Paul Maholm signed a very reasonable...

Boston Red Sox Off-Season: A Conversation With A Rational And Irrational Sox Fan – PT. 2
You could ask ten different Boston Red Sox fans right now what they think of the team’s off-season and you will probably get ten different answers. Heading into the off-season it was clear the team had needs (backup catching, bullpen, back of the rotation starters, outfield, pitching and more pitching) what with them coming off the biggest collapse in Major League Baseball history...

Vicente Padilla To Enter Spring Training As a Starter, Remains an Option for Bullpen
During the past two weeks, the Red Sox have signed pitchers Carlos Silva, Aaron Cook, Justin Germano and Vicente Padilla -- each of whom barely contributed last season -- to minor league deals. The four veteran castoffs comprise of unorthodox crew of pitching candidates. Injuries hindered Padilla and Cook last season. Ineffectiveness ended Germano’s year in Cleveland. Silva never...

Red Sox Starting Pitching Options
The Red Sox starting rotation is a mess right now, that much is clear. They are currently approaching filling the 2 open spots in the rotation in a very Yankees esque manner, signing Aaron Cook, Carlos Silva, and Vincente Padilla to minor league deals. They have little to no budget room currently and have had trouble finding reliable options for the rotation. The Red Sox boast a...

We recently found out that the Red Sox don't have enough available cash for Roy Oswalt and there is little they can do to fix that problem. That was then, now we have a solution...Vicente Padilla. I could barely type that with a straight face. The Sox and Padilla have agreed to a minor-league deal.

Red Sox Mailbag: Boston In No Rush to Sign Jacoby Ellsbury to Long-Term Contract
The Red Sox continued to stockpile on veteran pitchers this week, inking Justin Germano and Aaron Cook to minor league contracts. Both hurlers -- along with Carlos Silva -- will have the chance to resurrect their major league careers. Despite those acquisitions, a move to sign established starters Roy Oswalt, Joe Saunders or Hiroki Kuroda could still be on the fringe as well. So...

The BP First Take: Tuesday, January 10 by Daniel Rathman
There are few scarier moments in life than seeing a baseball hurtling toward your head at 100 mph. Rockies right-hander Juan Nicasio experienced that firsthand on August 5, when an Ian Desmond comebacker struck him near the right temple before the righty had time to react. Remarkably, less than six months after suffering a fractured vertebra in his neck, Nicasio is back on the mound...
