~ Scherzerlike Numbers : Clay Buchholz had a amazing year statistically,with numbers that in any other year would have made him a finalist for the Cy Young award.Because of a long stint on the D/L Clay only pitched 108.1 innings last year.For the record Clay was (12-1 1.74) with opponents batting .199 against him.His WHIP was 1.02.
~ Sour Grapes Dept.: Reporters in Toronto are such homers.Mike Rutsey (The Toronto Sun) and Tom Maloney (The Globe & Mail) both selected Terry Francona over John Farrell in their manager of the year votes.Nice to see there are no hard feelings.
~ 'Old' Red Sox Dept.: Reports indicate the Oakland A's have signed Nick Punto to a one year contract for 2.75 million.There is a 'vesting option' in the contract that could keep Punto with the A's thru 2015.Jed Lowery,the A's shortstop,made 2.4 million last year but is headed to arbitration.Does Billy Bean smell a trade ?
~ 'Old' Red Sox Dept. part 2: Alfredo Aceves was spotted working out in Mexico.Apparently several teams are interested.
Good Luck !
~ Still 'Hanging Around: Mike Napoli was spotted at the Celtics game last night.He was also at the Bruins game last weekend.It's like he doesn't want to leave.
