Report: Takashi Saito Clears Outright Waivers, Open to Returning to Red Sox - NESN.com
Cool to see a player understanding that his contract wasn't going to work for the team.
Healthy or Not, Mike Lowell's Role Won't Be Defined For 2010 - NESN.com
As this offseason gets underway, one has to wonder whether Lowell's days in Boston -- as an everyday starter at least -- are numbered.
Red Sox Throwdown: 2010 Edition, Part One - Surviving Grady
I REALLY hope they weren't being serious with 90% of what they suggested. I mean, based on the general joking nature of the site, I want to assume they are, but it's going to nag me.
Big T's Blazin' Sports Thoughts - Trade Papelbon? - SawxBlog
You wanna know what’s really odd about what happened at Fenway Park last Sunday afternoon? No one really wants to talk about it. The Red Sox just gashed our hearts with two dreadful games out west and the definitive gut punch game, and people are ready to move on. Well, most people away.
Okay, so this guy's a little late to the party. Nice attempt to spin it differently though.
Who is the Sox shortstop of the future? - ESPN Boston
At least Jed's getting some respect; if he is overtaken by a matured Iglesias, he'd still be a pretty damn good utility player, and he could step in whenever the phenom is having issues with the bat.
Agent Scott Boras compares Matt Holliday to Yankees' Mark Teixeira -- latimes.com
Teixeira signed with the New York Yankees last winter, for $180 million. Boras would not say what his asking price would be for Holliday, but he made clear he considered Holliday's abilities in getting on base, hitting for power and playing superior defense similar to those of Teixeira.
*sigh* Here we go again.

Finally !!!!!!!
Casey Kelly to BA
“I think next year that it will be one position,” he said. “The split season doesn’t really help either way. It was (done) this year to see how pitching was going to go . . . Next year we’ll try to narrow it down to one position.”
The whole article speaking about the 2 prospects playin’ in the AFL is really good, you should check it out!

Heh, Expo is his interpreter in the interview.
Iglesias seems to be fitting in just fine. Already knows plenty of English, none of the typical concerns with guys coming over from a culture like Cuba showing up so far.

He conspicuously avoids saying it'll be down to pitching.

Yeah I noticed that :D
The guy could make a career in PR …. after dominating the AL east for like 15 years obviously!

He has to stay at pitcher, right?
Is it even his choice?

Well, it sure would be nice of him to realize that on his own
I don’t think anyone wants a prolonged fight about his future to go on, especially if he’s fighting against the pitcher idea, wouldn’t want him to slow his progress down.
Really though, I think he’ll agree to pitch, simply for the fact that you can make a very good argument that he’ll get to the bigs faster through his pitching, and that’s what all prospects want most.

I hope so.
Hopefully he also watches Iglesias and realizes he won’t be able to beat him out.

Hard to say. Just assume they’re drunk and don’t worry about it. ;)

I don’t think Surviving Grady is very stat-oriented, so all the batting-average talk was probably in seriousness.

No, those boys are not stats guys in the least.
(Funny how I like it better here than there, though.)
But they ARE pretty intense Sox fans, so you have to wonder if one of them would actually be serious about bring back Judas.
Goddamn that DeMarlo Hale.

I’d be fine with Damon coming back. Problem is that he will probably get more money than he’s worth.

We shall convert you, Bloggy.
I’ve never really checked out the SG comment section, but I know I love SBN’s interface, especially the auto-comment-loading, which makes GTs much easier.

Not likely.
I like being a non-stat guy…who isn’t totally disrespectful of statistics.
The threading here is much better, for sure, and I just like how there are personalities in here, but it’s still focused on the Sox. Over there it’s almost like folks hanging out on a smoke break.
Goddamn that DeMarlo Hale.

Different group personalities, I guess.
Of course, we’re the guy who would marry Wally if we could.

Gracias.
Took the advice that you and others gave me and ran with it. Might need a little tweaking on the right side still.

Lowell
If Lowell comes back into the regular season injury free will he be the everyday starting thrid baseman?
by cnubsbl16 on Oct 21, 2009 10:25 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
One has to imagine, if V-Mart is going to be the catcher.
That leaves Youk at first, Lowell at third.

Mariano Rivera is a New York Yankee baseball player and pitcher, he became even well known for spitting on the ball before he throws it. No one wants to ever defend a New York Yankee, but a Rivera’s spitball isn’t really likely. Despite the fact that he plays for the most evil team in the MLB, a Rivera spitball isn’t likely, and his defeated opponents probably should stop whining. Mariano Rivera is known as a stand up guy, a dedicated professional, and his numbers – they speak for themselves, and there aren’t many 39 year olds that still have a 90 mph plus fastball. Once again – it is hard to defend the Yankees about anything, though while we’re at it – A Rod was on steroids! Seriously – the Angels need a cash advance to find something to do, other than talk about a non-existent Rivera spitball.
