http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/832 Recent articles about Julian Tavarez en-us Running through the five most prodigious home runs belted by members of the Texas Rangers thus far in 2008. Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:29:26 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/280069 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/280069 Julian Tavarez lost something athletes work their whole lives for. He lost his World Series ring. After being designated for assignment by the Red Sox, he was later released and then signed for the remainder of the year by the Milwaukee Brewers. While cleaning out his locker, he somehow forgot to take the $20,000 ring with him. Thu, 29 May 2008 11:36:44 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/272113 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/272113 It's been four days since the Red Sox designated reliever Julian Tavarez and they're still trying to figure out what to do with him. He will be due 3.8 million dollars if they outright release him so they're trying to trade him on the open market and get something in return. Unfortunately most teams are still wary of Theo Epstein and think he's asking too much for a long relieving whackjob (I still love you though Julian!) According to Jayson Stark of ESPN, that hasn't stopped the Brewers from doing a little back and forth with Theo over a potential swap.

Sometimes he says things like "I think I'm the best ever to play left field in Boston." (That Yaz guy? He didn't exist.) Then sometimes he walks into a group of reporters with a big grin on his face and quips "They got rid of Julian. They didn't ask me. What the ****?" That magical quote came only a day after he told reporters that they should trade Tavarez for one of the sausages that races the hotdogs during the 7th inning stretch in Milwaukee. Please stay forever Manny. Tue, 13 May 2008 17:37:59 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/266590 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/266590 I never thought I'd see this day come. Julian Tavarez has never been a great pitcher in Boston but he ate innings and was a good guy to keep around the clubhouse. Now I'm not saying I wanted him on the team but it looked like Theo Epstein sure did. Tavarez has been designated for assignment today to make room on the active roster for Sean Casey. Most people, myself included, thought Craig Hansen would be sent back down to Pawtucket; however, after the trade talks to send Tavarez to Colorado died this weekend, they changed their philosophy and just cut him instead.

The questions for Sox fans is not if we're glad (we are!), but rather this: What is Manny going to do without his little troll doll now? It's also a great excuse for replaying the video that we feel best describes Manny Ramirez. Video at HHR!

Boston's bullpen didn't do as well and the Red sox went down 7-5 to the Angels.

Humphrey these days.

So here is what I propose to you today; let's find out. All you have to do is click on the links below to fill out a form for each player asking for predictions for the following statistics; AVG, OBP, SLG, HR, RBI, SB and for pitchers - Wins, Losses, ERA, Strike Outs/9 IP, IP, and Saves. If you would like to provide your name or MVN "handle", it will only be used to call out how correct, or incorrect you are at the end of the season. If you would rather not provide any information linking yourself to your predictions and providing a layer of plausible deniability, feel free to leave it blank. Lastly, please provide the team you root for on a regular basis. Could it be that the collective intelligence of Yankee fans about Red Sox players is more accurate than the fans that live and die all things Sox? We will hopefully find out. Follow the story link to participate...

Buchholz?

So who got the 5th starting spot? Not Buchholz or Tavarez-- but Justin Masterson. That pesky split squad game!

He also carries around stuff in garbage bags. I wish I was making this up.
