Theo wasted $125
Turns out one of everyone's favorite Sox stories of the last decade may not have been necessary. Theo spoke at an event yesterday at Sacred Heart and talked about his infamous three-month leave from the Sox top baseball gig.
"That was a time conflict of what organization stood for. I didn’t agree with the values the ownership had of running Red Sox. You have to be all in when...

Another shortstop dilemma
There has been lots of talk lately about the revolving door of Red Sox shortstops since the early 2000's. Edgar Renteria had one terrible year. Alex Gonzales had two stints and both times refused to re-sign. Julio Lugo was a bad free-agent signing. And now Mario Scutaro, after two fairly productive years, is gone in a trade. A "Red Sox Beat" article in the Herald by...

Nice Touch By Bobby V
The fact that Bobby Valentine choose number 25 might have rubbed a few Red Sox fans the wrong way, as it was the number worn by the late Tony Conigliaro, and many feel that number should be retired.An interesting article by Ron Borges in the Boston Herald tells a story that Valentine told about having been Tony C's roommate at San Diego in 1976 when he tried to make a comeback there...

A New Sheriff Rides Into Town
Bobby Valentine officially met with the media at Fenway Park on Thursday afternoon. Interesting how many writers from the New York papers were on hand for it. I was wondering just before the conference began: what number will Bobby V wear? He wore number 2 at both Texas and with the Mets, but Jacoby Ellsbury has that. He was seen putting on a jersey with number 25 on it. Let's hope...

For those entering the game a little late, we are basing the rankings loosely on the analysis scores I developed earlier. However, I reserve the right to move guys around a bit depending on individual circumstances. With each guy we will look at their best deal, worst deal, mitigating...

MIke Lowell Addresses Red Sox' Reported Clubhouse Behavior, Says Winning Would Have Solved Chemistry Issues
Mike Lowell has been around the baseball block quite a few times. He's been around the block in Boston, too, so there isn't much the former third baseman hasn't seen. Keeping that in mind, Lowell is just the person you'd want to talk to about all of the drama, allegations and everything else that has surrounded the Sox in the last month or so. Lowell was a guest on...

Mike Lowell Says He Feels Sad for Former Red Sox Teammates After Worst Month of Their Careers
Mike Lowell handled himself with a great deal of class on and off the field during his playing career, which made him a favorite amongst Red Sox fans. But although he said goodbye to the Fenway Faithful and baseball last year, the 2007 World Series MVP still follows his old team. Lowell appeared on The Dan LeBatard Show on Friday to discuss the tough ending to the Red Sox' season...

A Retrospective: Beckett-Hanley Trade, Truly a Win-Win?
With the conclusion of the MLB season today, I would like to take a look back at a trade, which many believe to be the best Win-Win deal of the last decade. This trade involved the Boston Red Sox with their cant-miss shortstop prospect dying for a chance at the show, and the Florida Marlins getting rid of a young ace they could not afford to resign. I am of course referring to...

Old-timers say goodbye to Marlins ballpark
Florida Marlins old-timers really aren't that old, and the most senior of the seniors, Charlie Hough, hasn't changed much since he threw the first pitch in franchise history in 1993.
But there are still memories to savor. Hough and about 20 other former Marlins gathered Tuesday to say goodbye to the team's stadium.
Among those on hand were Gary Sheffield, Kevin Brown, Charles Johnson...

Hanley Ramirez Continues to Cause Stir Away From Diamond, Making 2005 Trade Look Even Better for Red Sox
For a long time, the 2005 trade that brought Josh Beckett (and Mike Lowell) to Boston in exchange for Hanley Ramirez (as well as Guillermo Mota and some throw-ins!) was considered a rarity in baseball circles. It was rare in that it was one of the few trades in baseball that appeared to benefit both teams equally. For the Red Sox, Beckett led them to the 2007 World Series, a series...
