On Madson’s big deal and the implications for Papelbon.

Stay away, Phillies.

See who I’ve predicted the Sox to sign (for now).

Congrats to Ellsbury, Pedroia, and Gonzalez on their semi-meaningful awards. At least they deserve them.

But the door is not closed on Dan Wheeler and Scott Atchison.

Nick, Ben, Aaron and I all take a stab at what the opening day lineup will be over at Ted’s Army. You’ll notice mine is a bit different from the rest.

$6 million for a no-nonsense shortstop. It’s a fair gamble for a big-market club.

Morning post at Ted’s Army, where we focus on Jonathan Papelbon.

But not for the reason you think. Morning post at Ted’s Army.
