• 2009 Team Payrolls: A Graphical Representation

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  Pete Abraham breaks down the final 2009 MLB payroll numbers here . However, to get a true sense of the modern MLB environment, I think it’s best to visualize things.  I’ll just plop the numbers into a graph and let the data do the talking: The salaries appear to be normally distributed (for the most ...

• The $170 Million Dollar Player Development Machine

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  WEEI’s Alex Speier does a nice job here breaking down the Red Sox payroll as calculated by MLB when determining the Competitive Balance Tax (a.k.a. luxury tax). The tax threshold this year is at $170 million, and after projecting assumed arbitration raises, the Red Sox are just about on the edge of that ...

• Boston Targeting Adrian Gonzalez

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  I’ll lead off with this portion of Ken Rosenthal’s article , just to temper expectations: A deal is not close, and might not happen at all, sources said. However, multiple sources are reporting the the Red Sox are officially gunning for San Diego’s Adrian Gonzalez, an elite first baseman who might be among ...

• Sox Eyeing Coveted IFA

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  Free agent Aroldis Champan, a 21-year-old left-hander from Cuba, showcased his arm in a workout for representatives from 15 teams yesterday.  Among the representatives was Boston’s Craig Shipley, as the Red Sox have been interested in Chapman for months. Technically, Boston already offered Chapman a major league ...

• A Monster at Fenway?

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  When taking a closer look at Mike Cameron’s profile as a player, it appears that there may be several reasons why the Red Sox front office decided to acquire this 37-year-old outfielder instead of shelling out top dollar to retain Jason Bay. First, let’s look at the basics.  Cameron is known primarily for his ...

• Confirmed: Lackey Deal Imminent

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  Kudos to Ed Price, whose credibility in the baseball internet world was bumped up a few notches when he first scooped this one.  All major outlets are now confirming that a physical did indeed take place, and a deal between the Red Sox and pitcher John Lackey is very close. I have some mixed emotions here.  ...

• Kicking Lackey’s Tires?

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  Online baseball reporter Ed Price tells us that the Red Sox will be giving John Lackey a physical .  I’m not sure what that means, exactly.  For Lackey’s sake, I hope it isn’t the same type of physical I was given when airport security pulled me into their windowless room last month.  I’m still walking ...

• The Lowell Trade

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  Despite Theo Epstein’s claim that nothing would get done before he left Indianapolis this morning, the Red Sox apparently have a preliminary deal in place with the Texas Rangers.  The deal would send Mike Lowell to Texas for 25-year-old catcher / first baseman Max Ramirez.  Of course, Lowell would be driving a ...

• Dry Heat Kills Brain Cells

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  Arizona.  A lovely place where water and non-cactoid flora are sparse. And so is intelligence. I’m sure you’ve heard the news of the three-team deal sending Curtis Granderson to the Yankees, a bunch of good young players to Detroit, and…wait for it, wait for it… Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy to the ...

• Crude Oil Falls Below $74

  
  Forex Trading Education : Forex Trading Blog by FOREXYARD — Authority: 139
  Crude oil prices have dropped significantly yesterday and peaked at $73.50 per barrel. However, as I will demonstrate below, the price of crude oil may very well be heading for a reversal. Forex traders can take advantage of this impending movement by having their Entry Orders in place to capture this reversal. ...

• Choosing Mediocrity Over Uncertainty

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  Blatantly disregarding my advice, the Red Sox have signed Marco Scutaro to a two year contract (plus a mutual option year).  Dollar amounts have yet to be disclosed, but I’d ballpark it at around $8 million per year, with a team $8MM/player $4MM option for the third year. Scutaro (Venezuelan, not Italian) has ...

• Pedroia at SS?

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  The Red Sox appear to be thinking outside the box on their shortstop issue, as Peter Gammons reports that the team has asked All-Star second baseman Dustin Pedroia if he can return to his original position in 2010. Pedroia is one of the better fielding second basemen in the game, and his glove/range should be ...

• E-6: Theo Drops the Ball at SS

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  His baseball columns are sometimes out of touch, but when Globe writer Bob Ryan wrote a recent column criticizing the Red Sox for not retaining the services of Alex Gonzalez for one more season, he hit the nail on the head. Gonzalez, a career.282/.315/.436 hitter at Fenway Park and possibly the best fielding SS in ...

• Nick Green 2.0

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  According to a reporter from the KC Star , the Sox have acquired Timothy Hulett from the Royals for a PTBNL. Hulett is a versatile utility guy who can play all over the infield and outfield (including SS). Combine that with the fact that he answers to the name “Tug”, and I believe my Gritty-Meter just exploded. ...

• Are Sportswriters Getting Smarter?

  
  The House That Dewey Built — Authority: 423
  We’ve come a long way from Zoilo Versalles. Zoilo, of course, was the gritty (oh, wait, Zoilo doesn’t quite fit the characteristics of a “gritty” player.  Let’s go with “fiery” instead) shortstop on the 1965 Minnesota Twins who managed to win the MVP Award while hitting .273/.319/.462.  It wasn’t ...
