Sometimes I wonder what made everyone forget about Felix Doubront. Well, maybe I shouldn’t say that. I’ve got a good idea why, but I’m still wondering how he fell as off the radar as he did. Doubront was signed as an international free agent in 2004 – a time where the Red Sox farm system [...]

The Bullpen isn’t an easy fix… and won’t be for a while.

It’s a hard pill for folks to swallow, but the bullpen isn’t going to fix itself over night and even more depressing – there probably isn’t any real help coming anytime soon. Twitter was a complete mess tonight – full of hysterical tweets about what the Red Sox should do and what they shouldn’t do, [...]

While it wasn’t the most exciting week to be a Red Sox fan, it’s hard to look at GM Ben Cherington’s first winter meetings as anything less (or more) than a mild success. The Red Sox are in a better, more focused position heading out of the baseball’s annual free agent/trade suare, and were able [...]
The Red Sox made the right call in letting Jonathan Papelbon go
Posted in 2011-2012 Offseason, 2012 Red Sox offseason, Jonathan Papelbon, Philadelphia Phillies, tagged Ben Cherington, BJ Ryan, Bobby Jenks, Boston Red Sox, Brad Lidge, Carl Crawford, CC Sabathia, Daniel Bard, Eric Gagne, Fransisco Rodriguez, Jacoby Ellsbury, Joe Nathan, John Lackey, John Smoltz, Jonathan Papelbon, Justin Verlander, Kevin Youkilis, Papelbon to Phillies, Philadelphia Phillies, Roy Halladay, Ruben Amaro, Ryan Madson on November 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Jonathan Papelbon’s price was ridiculous and the Red Sox were right to let him leave. That’s not a knock on Papelbon’s talent. Fact of the matter is that Papelbon isn’t just a good closer – he’s one of the best in the game. You could even go as far as to suggest his run from [...]
