    Francona is due for back surgery this offseason to deal with a problem that has left him with diminished feeling in his arms and unable to stand up straight at times. He’s been aware of the problem since May, but only now does he have the opportunity to take care of it without missing a large swath of the baseball season.

    Another Red Sox headed for surgery: the manager

    like I just told slip kid

    I'll trade yall A-rod for Lowells rookie card and just leave it on 3rd and it would make less errors than Gay-rod ANYways
    maybe even get a hit in the postseason!
    Only a Vlad Guerrero trade for A-Rod would be equal since both of them are garbage in the postseason. :p

    Sox pick up option on Wakefield, so he's back for another go around.

    Good God! Say it ain't so. I'm thankful for what he's done, but its time to cut him loose....replace him with somebody that isn't a couple of guaranteed homeruns when they come in.

    Varitek filed didn't he? Are they going to make a real effot to resign him or what? I like Tek too, but might be time for him to go as well

    You have (5) starting pitchers on your roster.
    If you don't see the value of Wakefield, you don't know baseball.

    His value is he sucks, which means none. My point is that he can certainly be replaced with someone more reliable for the same money or less.

    No way. Wakefield is one of the biggest steals in baseball.

    Perhaps..but in no way does he advance the sox chances of winning. Putting him out there for game four was like saying, "Hey, beat the shit out of us! Please!"

    IP: 2.2
    H: 6
    R: 5
    ER: 5
    HR: 3
    ERA: 16.88

    Everybody has bad days, but Wake has them quite frequently and I don't want to see another damn playoff game put in his hands.

    Quality starts for the Sox in 2008

    Lester - 20
    Wakefield - 18
    Beckett - 16
    Dice - 14

    I guess your right he sucks...

    Pedroia Wins AL MVP!!
    Didn't see a thread yet for this, so I thought I would start one up. Such an accomplishment, especially for a second basemen. Rookie of the Year, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, AL MVP. Great resume for only two years of service!

    I was trying like hell to find this thread and it wouldn't come up. A well earned award to Dustin who appears to be a future leader to this Red Sox team.

    2007 Rookie Of The Year
    2007 World Series ring
    2008 Gold Glove
    2008 Sliver Slugger
    2008 MVP

    Just think of all the people who wanted to bench him in April 2007.

    Congratulations to Dustin Pedroia. He deserved the MVP. He's quickly becoming my favorite Sox player. Who else is ready for baseball season to start again?! There's a very strong possibility the wife and I will be moving back to the Fort Myers area next summer. Spring training right in our back yard again will be great (we lived in Fort Myers for 6 months in 2006).
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    And Coco Crisp is gone, traded to Kansas City for a reliever. We did need the bullpen help, but I wonder if we could have acquired a better player.
