Clay Buchholz has his sights set on making the major league roster as a starting pitcher when camp breaks in early April.  The ball club had the day off on Thursday, but the Red Sox had Buchholz pitch a minor league game against the Minnesota Twins’ Class A squad in order to keep Buchholz on [...]

Josh Beckett missed his scheduled turn in the rotation on Sunday.  He is battling some sort of flu or virus, so the club did not want to take any chances with their ace.  It does not appear to be arm or leg related or any other pitching related injury.
This is very strange.  Let’s hope GM [...]

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 [...]

Daisuke Matsuzaka looks to be back on track during early Spring Training action this March.  Matsuzaka threw a productive session on Monday of this week and could be in line for a regular bullpen session by the end of the week.  Dice-K threw long-toss from the 180-200 foot range and also threw 25-30 pitches off [...]

Mike Lowell is getting ready for the 2010 MLB schedule.  After a tumultuous winter off-season, Lowell is thrilled to be able to focus on playing baseball again.  Lowell injured his wrist during the final week of the 2009 regular season.  He played in the ALDS against the Angels in October, but neither Lowell nor the [...]

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 [...]

Hermida will back up the Red Sox starting trio [...]
