Comment on: Jon Lester for Wil Myers? Why not? - Touching All the Bases - Boston.com
Lester must be traded. Yes, he would be greatly missed, but he is not the leader that we need on the staff. He was given a year to prove himself. It was more his attitude than his ERA. If not this tra more »

Comment on: 'Daniel Bard would have been better choice as Red Sox closer'
i am concerned the players are running the team, not the manager/gm -- probably an attempt of Bobby V not falling into the trap of overmanaging, which he will do in time. i am a Bobby V fan, and think more »

Comment on: 'Covering the bases with Youkilis'
Youk - I'm a big fan. Whining - not so much. Up and down on field play = up and down media coverage. Play better, more consistently = better media coverage. No positive steroid tests = better media co more »
