| | With most of the top free agents now signed and teams starting to take shape as we approach spring training, I thought I would share my pre-pre-season pespective on the relative strengths (and weaknesses) of all 30 major league teams. I have broken the article down into three installments, and will publish one of the segments each day this weekend.
Part I (today) will cover the three...

| | In the wake of the announcement the Red Sox have hired Geddy to coach at Lowell, where he’ll be entrusted with the careers of some of the best and brightest – and youngest – of the Red Sox prospects, I started to wonder what they will be taught in Lowell.

| | Back in November, I wrote that it was unlikely the Red Sox would make an earnest effort to re-sign either player (or infielder Felipe Lopez, a Type B free agent who remains unsigned) because they “will want the draft picks in what is expected to be a VERY deep 2011 draft”. Not only will 2011 be a deep draft, but with anticipated changes to future drafts, it’s also...

| | And so the Phillies now have a starting rotation that can rival any in Major League Baseball, as Lee joins the two Roys (Halladay and Oswalt) and Cole Hamels atop the rotation. On paper, the Red Sox rotation of Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, Josh Beckett, John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka should rival that of the Phillies, but until Beckett, Lackey and Matsuzaka return to form the potential of...

| | The Red Sox brass devised a clear strategy: strike quickly on their own while forcing the Yankees to get bogged down in their own morass. Sometimes, the best defense is a great offense… and so the Red Sox went on the offensive.

| | So the free agent landscape has changed dramatically, as the signing of another Type A free agent will cost the Sox only a second-round pick... thus, relievers Grant Balfour and Scott Downs are suddenly in play.

| | Why? Was it, as rumored, to protect A-Rod’s injured thumb? Then why was he put on the team in the first place? (Again, as with his decision not to move Jeter out of the second spot in the batting order, I suggest it was to avert angering one of his own superstars). Where was Kevin Youkilis… or more to the point, where was Michael Young of the Texas Rangers? And then, even with...

| | As the Red Sox #1 fan I was obviously enthused to watch as David Ortiz became the first member of the Boston Red Sox to win the Home Run Derby last night; but, truth be told, I was more delighted that the rest of the world got to see the vintage “Big Papi” many of us have come to love over the last several years. Sadly, that guy was missing early this year as David struggled...
