Grading the the Red Sox 2013 Trade Deadline

SP Jake Peavy acquired at the deadline

So as we covered before, we thought the Red Sox should be both Buyers and Sellers at the 2013 Trade Deadline. Well a lot has changed since that original blog as the Sox found themselves pulling away from the pack with the Rays for the Division lead. If you had asked me weeks ago like I had said in previous blogs I would have said, BUY, but not at the expense of their "B" prospects and by "B" prospects I mean, Bogaerts, Bradley Jr., and Barnes. Those three guys (And a few others) are the future of this organization, and to deal them for ANYONE less than a Giancarlo Stanton or a Jeff Simardzija would be organizational suicide in my opinion. With that being said, given the moves the Sox made at the deadline, and given the overall quietude of the deadline, I give them a solid B+ for the moves they made.

The Great Deadline Debate: AL Part II

So after a few days of bantering back and forth with Burga, we have agreed in principle to five trades so far. I will break down what they mean to the AL teams and why we offered, or accepted the deals that you see before you.

Fantasy Baseball 2013 Mid Season Awards

We've reached the midway point in the season (not exactly), and the All Star Game is this week. Now is a good time to take some time to praise and evaluate how players have done so far this season. Who has emerged as an elite player, who is breaking out, who is a fluke and who is still a second half sleeper. There have been quite a few surprises this season and the rookies seem to be flying off the waiver wire faster than ever (Thanks Mike Trout). It's time for me to break it down for you.

Tebow or not Tebow, is it even a question?

Remember this? This is Tim Tebow in the 2009 National Championship game against the Oklahoma Sooners giving them the infamous "Gator Chomp" resulting in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

When most people think of Tebow, they think of the quiet, reserved "Tebowing" QB who has been the center if media attention around the NFL for the past few seasons. The average NFL fan does not remember the heart, passion and raw football ability that Tebow brought to the table night in and night out down in Gainesville. With Tebow recently signing a 2 year contract with the New England Patriots, what can we come to expect from the college standout in the short term and long term moving forward?
