| ARLINGTON, Texas -- All-Star knuckleballer Tim Wakefield is headed to the disabled list because of a lower back problem.
The Boston Red Sox recalled right-hander Clay Buchholz from Triple-A Pawtucket to start in Wakefield's place Wednesday night in the finale of a three-game series in Texas.
Manager Terry Francona said Wakefield, who turns 43 next week, got hurt throwing on the side...

SawxFawx found this 2 years ago on www.google.com
| It pays to be an All-Star.
The initial 66 picks for Tuesday's game in St. Louis will receive $2.3 million in bonuses, with Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay leading the way at $125,000.
That money might come in handy for moving expenses...

| Since this wasn't posted as a bulletin on Sawxheads, I wanted to share it with everyone regardless. I interviewed Atlanta Braves sports writer Jeff Schultz and asked him his views on the upcoming series, the John Smoltz free agency signing, Tom Glavine, Derek Lowe, etc. Let me know your thoughts

| When Mike Lowell first came to the Red Sox in 2006 he remembers Gabe Kapler and Kevin Youkilis having a conversation. They were in the middle of the debate when they asked Lowell’s opinion on the matter.
"That made me feel good," said Lowell. "In some organizations, newcomers are not welcomed. Here we know the guys coming in are going to help us win. We have a good...

| As more steroid allegations pour into the MLB gossip ring, a new face emerges on the top of the headlines. Not to worry Sawxheads, this link doesn't have the credibility like most other accusations, but it still makes me a little nervous. How much is this going to affect Ortiz' pre-season preparations if something else pops up in the upcoming weeks? Steve Buckley reports from the Boston...

Smoltz is on Varitek's side of the fence

SawxFawx found this 3 years ago on sports.yahoo.com
| "Across a weird winter, and in a manner of speaking, Smoltz and Varitek had considered their own career boundaries, worlds as they'd always known them"
It's only a matter of time before two of the leagues most prolific players take their catching gloves and hang them up for good. For now, there are preseason games to prepare for, and early season games to strategize. Not long...

Scouting Report for Ervin Santana
|
|
 |
SawxFawx found this 3 years ago on www.fantasysportstrades.com
| So I picked up this scouting report from when Santana pitched in the minors back in 2005. I know it doesn't say much, besides that he lies about being 6'2" and has a long history of arm problems. Santana has had his best season to date with the Angels, and is only 3 years removed from this article. I cited this article in my blog because it mentioned something about how the Angel...

Sox pitching focus is sharpening
|
|
 |
SawxFawx found this 3 years ago on www.bostonherald.com
| Justin Masterson has been masterful. Beckett's endurance for a tight ball game is reaching a steady sprint. The late season addition of Paul Byrd has bolstered the leaky holes of the starting rotation. Seeing a trend yet? As I prophetically predicted about a month ago (kidding, but I DID ask for a psychological re-evaluation of our pitching staff), the puzzle pieces are slowly starting to...
