Bye Bye Julian - What dumping Tavarez means for the Sox

May 12, 2008 – 2:12 pm

Sox just designated Julian Tavarez for assignment.  Most unique thing this means is chances of a pitcher rolling the ball to first place to get an out have pretty much dropped to zero.
But it also means Sox are going to give Craig Hansen a serious shot.  Most obvious thing to do with Sean Casey coming [...]

Time To Start Thinking About ‘08 Roster Moves

May 12, 2008 – 12:22 pm

The season is 40 games in.  One quarter of the season is now behind us, giving us a large enough sample size to think about how to tweek the roster in order to solidify the Sox as the 2008 team to beat.  Certainly, there’s nothing I’ve seen in the first 40 games that says “hit [...]

Omar Vizquel

May 8, 2008 – 2:11 pm

Since Gammons started us thinking on this…here’s some quick thoughts regarding possiblity of Sox trading for Omar Vizquel and having him share the SS duties with Jed Lowrie
On the surface, I like the idea.  But it makes for a crowded roster of infielders with Lowrie, Vizquel, and Alex Cora all pretty much in the same [...]

Did Lugo Cost Us A Win?

May 7, 2008 – 8:49 pm

I was tracking the 9th inning of the Red Sox - Tigers game tonight via refreshes to mobile ESPN on my Treo.  A game that Papelbon couldn’t close out after a nice comeback from a 4 run deficit. But saw that there was a Lugo error in the midst of that 9th inning.  So is [...]

Yankees melodrama with Joba explains why Bucholz should stay a starting pitcher

April 22, 2008 – 10:32 am

I’ve been reading all about Hank Steinbrenner’s outbust that Joba Chamberlain should be a starting pitcher right now and Brian Cashman’s response.  All it has me thinking is that I’m glad the Sox aren’t toying around with Clay Bucholz.
Crundy and I actually disagree on this.  Crundy thinks Bucholz should be a bullpen setup guy if [...]

What is Jed Lowrie’s future role with the Red Sox?

April 16, 2008 – 4:10 pm

Jed Lowrie mad the first start of his career vs. the Indians Tuesday night.  At third base.  Has me wondering what his future role with the Red Sox is.  Pretty clear the Pedroia is embedded at second for years to come.  Lugo has a couple more years at $10 million a year and Lowell is [...]
