Within a couple of pages of references this month, Baseball America mentioned that this AAAA type hitter was the Puerto Rican winter league MVP, a free agent and a member of the Sox organization. Does anybody know whether he is with the Sox? He would clea...

Baseball America ran this story on the 25th...Morales is a 29y/o Cuban defector who played 3B and homerered for the National team in the exhibition game versus the Orioles in 1999. Apparently he's got serious (high 7 figures) offers from four clubs, and h...

What do you want

feeds@yuku.com (YGB) — Fri, 26 Jan 2001 22:51:15 PST

I'm a met fan visiting from another board. There's been some discussion of Troy O'Leary possibly going to the Mets (we're very weak in LH-hitting OF depth).I know the numbers, but was curious to get the fans view. Also, what could the Sox use in a trade -...

Excerpt from a NY Post story about their signing of Kaminiecki:"What most embittered the righty toward Torre, he said then, was that the skipper told him he was vying for the rotation in spring, but told the media Kamieniecki was behind other contend...

"Flash in the Pan" poll

I put up a "Who was your favorite 'flash in the pan' Boston athlete of the past 20 years?" poll on my main page and everyone seems to be enjoying it, so much so that I had to revise it and add Connor Henry and a few others. Here's your chance to...

New strike zone being enforced

feeds@yuku.com (fifthdentist) — Thu, 25 Jan 2001 15:51:30 PST

I just read that MLB got every ump in the league together to get them on the same page as to where the strike zone is. They had batters stand in the box with tape on them to show where a strike should be called according to the letter of the rules. I reme...

www.sportstalk.com/mlb/pr...ndex.shtmlNot so sure about the ranking of 23rd, but thought the writeup was pretty fair (yes, overlooking the dumb Lansing-Dumatrait comment.)Probably should have mentioned the dearth of middle infielders instead of or an addi...

Was watching some of Game 5 of the ALDS with my girlfriend the other day. She doesn't really know anything at all about the Sox, but was amazed by Troy O'Leary. Funny how one game can totally influence your perception of a player. The thing that struck me...

Back-up catcher?

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Scott Hatteburg avoided arbitration yesterday and signed a 1 year deal for slightly over $1 million. The only thing I found even remotely interesting here is the admission by his agent that the Sox have asked him to b...

That's Olympic hero and newly signed minor league FA Mike Neill. Sounds like a pretty bright guy with a good perspective on things. Let's pretend he can play CF and throw him into the mix of guys better/more valuable than DLew. www.baseballprospectus.co....
