Wherever you heard that you heard wrong because I have been following him since he has been in single A and he has never been compared to Koufax at all.

rare tejada error on such an easy play

Gammons hardly saw him in the minors and used other peoples info. Lester at times can get up that high but not throughout the game with he use 94-95. Comparing him to a hall of famer is flat out ridiculous especially maybe the best left handed pitcher ever.

Wow he finally did his job. Has been awhile since he has done that. And I will still stick to my guns that Pedroia is a significantly better player than Loretta just like I have stuck to my guns that the WMP trade was a steal for the Red Sox.

Billing him as a Koufax type player is ridiculous and that was never the case. He has never been called that ever coming up through minors. His MLB comparison is more like Andy Petitte and he will never be confused with Koufax.

Lester is struggling but not having tek back there will hurt his development a bit.

This signing has come out of nowhere and I am totally surprised by it. EDMOND - Ty Weeden's baseball career at the University of Arkansas lasted barely five minutes. Weeden, an Edmond Santa Fe graduate who was drafted in the 16th round as a catcher by the Boston Red Sox in June, was beginning his orientation in Fayetteville when he received the call he had been waiting for all summer long. The Red Sox had come up with the amount of money Weeden felt his services were worth. Weeden declined to name a specific dollar figure on Thursday, but he said the signing bonus was in the neighborhood of $500,000. "I didn't know what to do," Weeden said. "When they called, I just looked at my dad." Weeden then informed Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn of his plans. "We talked to my coach about it. I think he knew more about what was happening than we did. I don't think he was surprised at all. He completely understood," Weeden said. Weeden will report to Boston's rookie league affiliate in Fort Meyers, Fla., on Sunday. His contract doesn't take effect until 2007, so he won't play in games. Instead, he will work out with the team. http://www.newsok.com/article/2829220

0-5 with a 5.29 era in his last 10 starts.

I think Bard might be as well but I am not sure.

I don't think they can turn this around. Too many injuries to key players like wakefield and varitek along with wells and clement thinning out the pitching staff have the made the bullpen look alot worse because they are taxed. It also doesn't help that coco got hurt for alot of the year and no one is hitting outside of manny and ortiz.

All I know is that Bard has told coaches he isn't going back to UNC. If he holds true to that then that gives the Sox more time to sign him.

probably DLowe. Both are tall. They both throw a sinker similar in mph. I would like to see the Red Sox stretch Masterson into a starter though instead of a reliever since he was a starter at San Diego State.

Arroyo has been fading if you haven't noticed. He is coming back to what he is and thats an average pitcher. Wily Mo is starting to come into his own here and could form a great 3-4-5 with manny and ortiz

well they will bringing up pedroia to play secondbase for likely the next 10 years. i want to see him now but we know they will never cut a veteran like loretta.

while arroyo will continue to be average at best

Bringing this thread back from the dead. WMP heating up while arroyo is 0-5 with a 5.29 era in his last 10 starts.

i'm not worried. rivera blew 7 saves his first full year closing. I'm not saying he is going to be rivera because he likely won't be but to worry about him is panicking.

welcome to talksox

The problem is loretta is hardly getting on anymore and hardly doing his job. He has been pretty useless outside of his .300 BA which is not the way to evaluate a player.

If u remember Mo had 7 BS in his first full year of closing in 1997. Not having tek back there also hurts. I wouldn't worry about Paps too much.

A bold move by Theo would be to designate Mark Loretta for an assignment and straight out give the job to Loretta. And I am totally serious about this move. I'm sick of watching Loretta and his empty .300 Batting average.

The offense has officially taken the rest of the summer off.

watch hernandez shut this pathetic offense down

time to bring up pedroia to light some spark on this team.

just wow.....this f***ing sucks.....i hate this team
