DYED IN THE WOOL
DH David Ortiz was activated today after OF Brandon
Moss was optioned to AAA Pawtucket Friday evening.
Big Papi finished a 5-game rehab assignment (5 for
16/3 HR/6 RBI/6 R/4 BB/3 SO) for AAA Pawtucket and
AA Portland, and will be back in the Sox lineup tonight
for the first time since May 30th. With the non-waiver
trade deadline looming, the Sox have backed off
pursuing Pale Hose IF Juan Uribe for two reasons. 1)
Jed Lowery's impressive stint at short, and 2) Uribe's
past brushes with the law. Pittsburgh SS Jack Wilson
has been discussed in another possible deal. In a
by-product of the Teixeira talks, the Sox have also
inquired about Atlanta LHP Will Ohman (3-0/2.61/38
SO/18 BB/41.1 IP) in an attempt to bolster the 'pen.
RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka picked up his 11th win in 12
decisions Tuesday night in Seattle; becoming the 9th
Sox pitcher to accomplish the feat (Josh Beckett
'07/Pedro Martinez '99/Tim Wakefield '95/Roger
Clemens '86/Bob Stanley '78/Dick Radatz '63/Lefty
Grove '38/Cy Young '02) source: Elias Sports Bureau.
OF Manny Ramirez's (.301/19 HR/62 RBI/62 R) late
switch from agent Scott Boras to the Legacy Sports
Group, is a belated sign of the sluggers attempt to
move things forward, as his $20 million '09 club option
dangles in the air. With a series of negative incidents
dogging him, and a possible major deal in the works, it
appears more and more likely that the club will pick
up Ramirez' option for '09, and then trade the
enigmatic veteran. 2B Dusin Pedroia has hit safely in
each of the last 24 road games beginning May 31st.
During that span Pedroia has hit .457 (42/92) with 7
doubles, 5 HR, 11 RBI and 20 runs scored. In the
process tying Nomar Garciapara (24 games/ Apr.
25-July 9th, 1998) for the club record.
