In 1988 the Montreal Expos took Brad Wilkerson as a supplemental first round pick and by 2001 the outfielder was on his way to being a regular for the team.
By the end of 2002 he had finished second in rookie of the year voting with a .839 OPS while hitting 20 home runs. After a [...]

Never thought John Smoltz would pitch for another team.
A major league source who was in contact with John Smoltz on Wednesday night said the free agent will be calling the Braves on Thursday morning to tell them that he has decided to sign with the Red Sox.
MLB.com confirms that it’d be a $5.5 million deal [...]

I was a little surprised when the Los Angeles Dodgers declined Brad Penny’s $8.75 million option for 2009 and opted to pay him a $3 million buyout.
At $5.75 million he seemed like a decent gamble considering that Kip Wells, a pitcher of half his success, was going to get $3 million next year. While he [...]

The Boston Red Sox have signed left hander Billy Traber to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Traber, 29, pitched briefly for the New York Yankees last season posting a 7.02 ERA while the league hit .273 against him.
The club is explected to look at the former first round pick as a [...]

A week after the Texas Rangers designated Wes Littleton for assignment the Boston Red Sox announced that they did a little Black Thursday shopping and picked up the 26-year-old sinker ball throwing right hander for two players to be named later or cash.
Littleton hasn’t been as effective since his rookie season in which he posted [...]

The Texas Rangers snapped an 8 game losing streak at the hands of the Boston Red Sox Saturday night. The team pounded knuckleballer Tim Wakefield for seven earned runs in 1 2/3 innings of work before pounding a Boston bullpen.
Led by Nelson Cruz’s big night, two homers and a double accounting for five RBI the [...]

Mark Buehrle held the Boston Red Sox to just four hits and one run over seven plus innings Friday night to keep his team the Chicago White Sox in first place in the AL Central.
Buehrle improved to 9-10 on the year lowering his ERA to 3.94 along the way. While not known for striking out [...]

This is one tough task but I’ve decided to try and fine a reason to like each of the 30 teams in major league baseball. Now some were easier to find then others and while some will disagree for the reasoning I’ve done my best I think.
I hope to continue this series by creating a [...]

I’ll go ahead and throw out the hard fact that I did not make $40,000 dollars last year. I’ll probably not make that much this year either. However I recently learned today that players on the Oakland A’s and the Boston Red Sox are receiving a $40,000 dollar appearance bonus for showing up in Japan.
You [...]

Joe Thurston comes to Red Sox camp like the rest of the non roster invitees the team signed. He knows he has no chance of making the team yet has benefitted by getting a wikipedia page decked with useless facts about his career by some diehard Sox fan.
Sure I could have taken the time to [...]

When I awoke this morning I knew the Boston Red Sox had won the World Series but like most other people I was more interested in hearing what the New York Yankees were doing.
I turned on the radio for a short drive to the 1/4 mile track and in the sport briefs I heard a [...]

I tried to withstand it. Really I did.
Tonight Carrie had a class to attend and rather then driving home and coming back, wasting gas in order to be home for an hour, I stayed in the car and waited. I turned on the local sports radio channel as usual and prepared myself to be annoyed [...]

With respect to the Colorado Rockies and their crazy 21-of-22 wins I don’t see how anyone is going to stop this Boston Red Sox team. The Rockies are pretty much bringing one starter into this battle and in that start he will undoubtly get squashed by the beast that is Josh Beckett.
Ubaldo Jimenez, a rookie [...]
