Drew Jacked up for Healthy & Productive 2010 MLB Schedule

J.D. Drew is jacked up for a healthy and productive 2010 MLB schedule.  Although this seems to be a running issue with Red Sox players (see Daisuke Matsuzaka & Manny Delcarmen), Drew played with a sore shoulder for most of the 2009 campaign.  Drewbattled through the injury to play in 137 games and rack up [...]

Red Sox, Hermida Agree to 1-Year, $3.345 Million Deal

GM Theo Epstein kept his streak intact – by signing Jeremy Hermida to a 1-year deal today, Epstein & Co. will make it 8 straight years without going to arbitration with any player.  Hermida was the final arbitration-eligible Red Sox player still looking for his 2010 deal.
Hermida will back up the Red Sox starting trio [...]

Jeremy Hermida Looking Forward to 2010 MLB Schedule

Jeremy Hermida is looking forward to the 2010 MLB schedule for the Red Sox.  With the off-season signing of Mike Cameron, Hermida now knows that Cameron will play center field, Jacoby Ellsbury will play left field in front of Fenway’s Green Monster and J.D. Drew will play right field.  He also knows that because of [...]

Closure on Bay Front – Slugger Signs with Mets

At least he isn’t in the AL.  Jason Bay signed with the New York Mets today, bringing some closure to the Red Sox pursuit of the free agent slugger.  Bay played a great year and a half for the Red Sox, but his age and the dollar amount desired proved too much for the Red [...]

Jason Bay Update – Sort of…

As we reported over the weekend, the Red Sox have considered making another run at Jason Bay to play left field in front of the Green Monster at Fenway Park.  With the new $15.5 million Mike Cameron deal and J.D. Drew still on the books at $14 million per season for the next 2 seasons, [...]

Mixed Boat with John Lackey

With the 5-year, $82.5+ million deal on the books with John Lackey, the Red Sox have answered the call made by the New York Yankees in 2008 when they signed both CC Sabathia and A. J. Burnett off the free agent market.  Sabathia and Burnett combined to win 32 games for the Yankees in 2009 [...]

Red Sox Keep Adding Pieces – Mike Cameron Onboard

The Boston Red Sox keep adding pieces to the puzzle, signing Mike Cameron to a 2-year deal worth around $15.5 million.  Seems a bit much for a soon-to-be 37-year old center fielder, but he will be patroling left field in front of the Green Monster, a good indication that the Red Sox don’t think they [...]

Outfield Report Card – J.D. Drew B+

Let’s take a look at our outfield.  The trio of Jason Bay, Jacoby Ellsbury and J.D. Drew performed admirably in 2009.
