Tim Wakefield Looks Sharp in Spring Debut

Tim Wakefield tossed 3 shutout innings in his spring debut in Tuesday’s 9-0 win over the Florida Marlins.  Wakefield stymied a hard-hitting Marlins ball club that had been raking the ball so far this spring.  Wakefield needed just 30 pitches (22 strikes) to record his 9 outs.  He gave up 2 hits and struck out [...]

Dice-K Down Plays Back Injury

Good news Red Sox fans – Dice-K is not too concerned with his latest back injury that has sidelined him early this spring.  Matsuzaka is dealing with some middle-upper back soreness that has delayed his throwing program for a few days.  He still expects to make the 2010 MLB season his best in a Red [...]

Dice-K Slowed by Sore Back – Not Good

Pitchers and catchers don’t have to report until tomorrow, but we already have word of one player who is slowed by injury – Daisuke Matsuzaka.  Matsuzaka spent 2 stints on the disabled list in 2009 and ended up starting just 12 games for the Red Sox, going 4-6 with an awful 5.76 ERA and 1.87 [...]

Interesting Major League Moves – Create Premiere Starting Rotation Trios

The latest major league baseball trend – locking up a sensational trio of starters at the top of your rotation.  The Boston Red Sox became one of the leaders of the pack when they signed John Lackey to a 5-year, $82.5 million deal this off-season.  Lackey will complement Josh Beckett and Jon Lester to form [...]

John Lackey – Settling in Right at Home in Boston & Fenway Park

Red Sox starter John Lackey is looking forward to playing in an environment where every game counts.  Let’s just hope he is up to the task after signing the lucrative 5-year, $82.5 million deal in mid-December.
While eating at a solid Italian restaurant in Boston’s famous North End, Lackey got a “taste” of what it’s like [...]

Starting Rotation Logjam – What Will Theo & Terry Do?

It’s good and bad – what to do with the Red Sox deep and talented starting rotation.  When you have 6 legitimate starters, what do you do?  GM Theo Epstein and Manager Theo Epstein will have to figure this out as Spring Training 2010 progresses next month.
Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and John Lackey are studs.  [...]

Josh Beckett to Ink Long-Term Deal?

The Boston Red Sox need to act soon if they expect to keep Josh Beckett.  The Red Sox have a history of locking up “players they want” before it gets to the tipping point where a player might want to test the free agent market (a la Jason Bay last spring).  The Red Sox clearly [...]

Mike Cameron to Play Center; Jacoby Ellsbury to Play Left

The Boston Red Sox and Manager Terry Francona announced how the outfield will look in 2010.  With the signing of veteran center fielder Mike Cameron a few weeks ago, the Red Sox though it best to keep Cameron in center field once he joins the Red Sox.  Cameron is a 3-time Gold Glove winner in [...]

Red Sox Ready to Move On without Bay

The Red Sox are still confident that they can hit well enough during the 1st half of the 2010 MLB schedule to stay in the thick of the playoff race.  The Red Sox expect Casey Kotchman to get a lot of time at 1st base with Kevin Youkilis moving over to 3rd base while Mike [...]
