89 year-old Johnny Pesky has worked in the Red Sox organization for more than 60 years. He was a player, coach, 2-time manager, and instructor for the Red Sox. He has done so much for the Red Sox that he was rewarded for his hard work by having his number 6 retired by the Red Sox last season. Pesky sat on the bench as a instructor until a couple of years ago when the MLB ruled that there could only be a special amount of coaches on the bench. Johnny stil...

Last year in April Dustin Pedroia almost believed that, as he struggled in his first month in the big leagues.

Pedroia started the 2008 year off fantastic as he was awarded a spot on the 2008 All-star game f... Read Full Post »

The Red Sox are reportedly talking to the Tigers to send SS Julio Lugo to Detroit for either pitchers Nate Robertson or Dontrelle Willis. Lugo who was out for nearly the final two months of the season was a big disapointment for the Red Sox during his first two years with the team. Lugo has 2 years left on his 4 year contract he signed before the 2007 season. If Lugo does not return in 2009 a highly likely candidate for the position is Red Sox rookie SS Jed Lowrie who was a par... Read Full Post »

Lowe who pitched for the Red Sox for 7 years (1997-2004) said that Boston is his first choice for a team in 2009. There have also been reports that the Red Sox have inquired about Lowe. Lowe does want a lot of cash which the Red Sox might not be willing to pay. But I think if they picked up Lowe for his second stint for the team he would be the biggest pitching addition this off...
