Which Red Sox Players Deserve to be an All Star?
Photo from Baseball Almanac.
So who should be representing the Red Sox at Citi Field for this year's All Star Game? I'll talk about three players I think deserve to go.
Well, lets start with the glaringly obvious, shall we? Clay Bucholz. Really, that's all that needed to be said, but I'm going to talk about him anyway because I love reminding people of what'...
Marlins appreciate fan support in home opener
MIAMI Opening night 2013 at Marlins Park began with a festive nod to the franchises first 20 years.
The Miami Marlins ended the evening by creating more excitement, only to fall short.
In the second home opener at their domed home, the Marlins lost to the Atlanta Braves 2-0 on Monday night. The game took only 2:33, largely because both starting pitchers Miamis Kevin Slowey and...
Lowell: Marlins can win back fans
Mike Lowell grew up in Miami, helped the Marlins win a World Series and knows all too well about the franchise's tradition of humble payrolls and modest crowds.
Back in uniform this week as a special instructor, Lowell says the team can win again and win back fans, but it will take time. And he sympathizes with South Floridians angry the Marlins this season will be near baseball...

Lowell joins the alumni gang at camp
Spring Training so far certainly has a theme going on this year..."Alumni Weekend".
...Tuesday morning, there was another familiar face back in a Boston
uniform for the first time since he retired in 2010: Mike Lowell.
Former teammate Dustin Pedroia reached out to Lowell recently and
asked him to come in and work with third baseman Will Middlebrooks.
"It...
Mike Lowell in Fort Meyers to help Middlebrooks
The list of former Red Sox players joining the current squad at Spring Training just added another fan-favorite; former third baseman and '07 World Series MVP, Mike Lowell. According to Lowell, Pedroia sent him the invitation, to which he delightedly accepted. Pedroia seems to really be accepting his role as the leader of this ballclub, which they seriously need.
Anyways, Boston...
Evaluating the starters: 3B Will Middlebrooks
Entering his sophomore season with the big club, first season as everyday starter Will Middlebrooks has some big shoes to fill. He is following in the footsteps of fan favorites Kevin Youkilis and Mike Lowell. Middlebrooks was called up to the major leagues on May 2nd, 2012 when Youkilis was placed on the DL and instantly started to perform. Once Youkilis was healthy he and Middlebrooks...
A-Rod headlines list of clients at Miami PED broker
If you weren't sick of PED talk enough after the sham of Hall of Fame voting we just witnessed, get ready for more. A Miami New Times (which sounds like a fictional newspaper from Back to the Future) report says that a number of pro athletes were on the client list at Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic in Miami that is under fire for providing human growth hormones to customers...
Can the Red Sox Rebound?
Doesn’t it seem like yesterday the Boston Red Sox were hoisting their second World Series trophy in four years? Didn’t 2007 look like the year of big things to come, and not the end of an era in Boston baseball? Red Sox fans will remember that 2007 was the year of breakouts by Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester, and to a certain extent, Kevin Youkilis. That core seemed...
Mike Lowell Says Managing 'Not for Me Right Now,' But Could Be Intrigued in Future
Mike Lowell showed plenty of grit and leadership during his big league career, and that immediately had fans tabbing him as manager material. Two years into his retirement days, the four-time All-Star isn't ready to tackle a managerial gig just yet.
"It's not for me right now,'' Lowell said in a phone interview with CBSSports.com.
The news comes...
Your Morning Dump...where you can stop hoping for Mike Lowell
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. "It's not for me right now," Lowell said in a phone interview with CBSSports.com. Lowell, an analyst for MLB Network, said he intends to spend time enjoying his family and working on his broadcasting...
Brad Ausmus, Mike Lowell Among 21 Possible Replacements for Bobby Valentine as Red Sox Manager (Photos)
The Red Sox need a new manager. With Bobby Valentine relieved of his duties for 2013, the team has begun a skipper search for the second straight winter. Free agency once again will be a key issue in Boston, but the Red Sox need to decide on a manager before they consider any player moves. After seeing the disaster season of 2012 play out in what was supposed to be a year of celebration...
Bring Jack Back Again
The Miami Marlins are rumored to be looking for Ozzie Guillen’s replacement despite the fact he still currently holds the job. Names that have floated around included Brad Ausmus, Mike Lowell, and Bo Porter before the latter signed with the Houston Astros. One name that hasn’t been mentioned is Jack McKeon and that is unfortunate as he may be the best man for the job...
Yankeetorial: The acquisition of Ichiro will bring us a ton of raw, unused juju
Four losses into the dark well, we pushed the big red button: We made a deal that should please Old George's ghost, when he visits Hal and Hank in their dreams. The Boss always coveted Ichiro, as he did Sheff and the Big Unit. It was only a matter of time before Suzuki put on Pinstripes. Of course, he first needed to wither and hit a pile of pop-ups; then we would trade prospects...

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...
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...
GM: Montero’s best I’ve traded
Brian Cashman has dealt away players like Alfonso Soriano, Nick Johnson, David Wells and Mike Lowell as general manager of the Yankees, but he believes Jesus Montero could be better than all of them.
“He may very well be the best player I’ve traded,” Cashman said of Montero, whom...
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...
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'...

General Manager Rankings 11-15
We took a bit of a hiatus on the GM rankings, but it’s time to pick up the second half of the list. 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...
