BoSox Blotter

Reports are popping up everywhere today about Miguel Tejada’s continued dissappointment with how the Baltimore Orioles are running/building their team. Will this be enough to have Baltimore pull the trigger on the Red Sox offering of Rameriz and Clement for Tejada?

At this point, I still doubt it. If it does happen, I really hope we […]

Could 05′ mark the end of massive run production? Could it be the end of offensive dominance and the beginning of Aikido style fight? It was apparent that pitching won the world series. Both league representatives had plenty of it. While the Sox, Yanks and Rangers were rounding the bases, the White Sox were out […]

Well, it’s been 24 hours so I believe I’ve had enough time to ponder over the Johnny Damon betrayal departure. First off, I think the Sox front office could’ve done better than $40 million over 4 years — the guy’s play may not be worth it, but he sells more than just tickets and John […]

“There’s no way I can go play for the Yankees, but I know they are going to come after me hard. It’s definitely not the most important thing to go out there for the top dollar, which the Yankees are going to offer me. It’s not what I need.”

I know, it hasn’t even been 24 hours since Johnny Damon jumped ship and went to the Dark Side. But, we must push forward, we have too much work ahead, and too many holes to fill.

Looking at the most recent hole to fill, can we entrtain ourselves with another, a different, icon’s return to Boston? […]

Well, the boss has done it again. No…..not Bruce Springsteen, Georgie boy owner of the Yanks. Damon is reported to have agreed to a $52/4 year contract to play CF for the Yankees. I have heard that Boston offered $50/4 year. So that tells me that Johnny didn’t have RSN in heart like he claimed. […]

Just barely read…
Tony Graffanino surprisingly accepted the Red Sox’ arbitration offer on Monday, meaning he is essentially signed for 2006 (though the Sox could trade or release him during spring training). His return creates a logjam at second base, with the newly acquired Mark Loretta already penciled in as the starter.

Where does that leave Graffanino? […]

He averages 4 strike-outs per walk, and has an ERA of 2.69 last year with the Padres. Earlier today the Sox made the official announcement that they’ve signed relief pitcher Rudy Seanez to a one-year deal with a club option for 2007.

The 37-year-old last season ranked second among National League relievers with 12.5 strikeouts per […]

It’s getting eery, wouldn’t you say? The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking more and more like the Boston Red Sox of old, with each new free agent signing that they announce.

Here’s some impressions of members not too distantly removed from the Red Sox. Heck, all 4 of the people were key contributors in 2003.

Pitcher Derick […]

We know it wouldn’t happen. For some reason, we weren’t willing to truly entertain having this clutch hitter/fielder on the team for another 2 seasons. Bill Mueller has signed with the Dodgers, and he deserves his pay-day.

After getting Lowell from the Marlins, there really wasn’t room for Mueller on the team, and that sucks. If […]
