I know, it’s been a while but I was in mourning. Things improved when the Yankees got stomped but I figured now is as good a time as any to come out of hiding.
So far, the Red Sox are being quiet as to what they’ll be doing with the 2007 payroll. Alfonso Soriano sure would look good in a Red Sox jersey, as would Barry Zito. I was happy to hear that Jonathon Papelbon will be in the rotation next year. It would be a huge waste of his talent throwing an inning every other night.
Also, the Red Sox hired a new pitching coach. John Farrell replaces Dave Wallace, who had been the pitching coach since 2003.
I’m going to help out with a Baseball Historians group project. I’ll be one of five blogs documenting the 1967 American League Pennant Race, which we all know the Red Sox won. Barely. Should be fun and I’ll be working on player bios for the site during the offseason. I’ll let you know when the first one is finished so you can check it out.
