In today's news (sounds more and more like the closer will be determined in spring training) Joel Pineiro reached a preliminary agreement on a $4 million,...
These moves sound like the dreaded "closer by committee" that was a total failure in 2003. I'm sure they will not make the mistake of calling it that, but the...
Oh come on, having a "closer" doesn't really impact a team, right? <<saracasm, see 2004 for details>> Another year of eating Xanax like candy at the end of...
It sure does. I don't want to see them overpay for a closer, but I think it's better to have an experience closer on hand. ... total failure in 2003. I'm sure...
Cordero is an attractive option, even if they have to trade some prospects. He is young, cheap and very effective. His stats show the type of K/BB (69/22) you...
I was surprised to see Loretta sign a one year deal with the Astros with no mention of any Red Sox intrest. Sure, its good to work in a young player like...
I would of liked to see him back for another year too. I'll just add Loretta to my list of former Sox I want to go visit. ... From: scoop1981@... To:...
I was really hoping for at least another year of Loretta. He expressed his desire to return tot he Sox, but it was not returned, and I think it's really too...
... prospects. He is young, cheap and very effective. His stats show the type of K/BB (69/22) you just love to see in a closer. The word is the Nationals want...
I think Theo believes 2B is the only position that he can give to a prospect this year. In his tenure we have not seen too many top 2B players (Bellhorn, etc)...
Pena could win a significant role with the Sox this year, or they could trade him. Or they could trade Crisp. It's all about having flexibility. I think...
The departure of Johnson and Sheffield makes me giddy with laughter. Plus, of course the acquisition of Mintkevfdjkwdjifhrufhrlasjwicz's bat, of course... ...
I really liked Loretta too. I did read he had the lowest slugging pct. of second basemen. He sure seemed to come through a few times last year. A great guy...
Seems like the Yanks go the better end of the Johnson deal. Is this guy going to collect social security and pitch at the same time? Are teams that desperate...
This is interesting, from http://www.baseballmusings.com Geez, I guess he was a throw in for Dice-K!! The Seibu Lions signed Jason Johnson. You'd think they...
When do they post(or send you) info on renewing your RSN membership? Last year was my first year as a member, so I don't recall when they started making...
Renewals have been available for nearly 4 weeks now. E-mails were sent out before christmas offering the renewal - all you need to do is go to the webpage,...
Renewals are already available. I received an email a little while back, the beginning of Dec., and if you go to redsox.com it should be on there. There are...

Gwynn and Ripken made it in, but Jim Rice was shut out again. I thought Rice had a shot this year, with the anti-McGwire vote, and the fact that Rice...
