A-Gon Gone…Bound For North Of The Border
11/26/2009
Red Sox fan since May, 1967, when I attended my first game against the Minnesota Twins. Camped out at Fenway Park on seventeen occasions for tickets... the longest such adventure was in October, 1986, when I camped parkside for 5 1/2 days for World Series tickets (got tickets to all three games!). I started blogging about my beloved Red Sox in 2002... started my website (www.sox1fan.com) in the summer of 2004. Just recently, sox1fan.com enjoyed it's 10 millionth hit.

Jeffrey - Great stuff on breaking this down for the people at home. It's not like 1st round picks in baseball are impact guys right away...
The free agency period is now upon us, so we have been hearing lots of talk about Type-A and Type-B free agents and draft pick compensation… and the discussion leaves some people wondering what is all means...
If you have never heard of Aroldis Chapman, or if you have only heard dribs and drabs about him, then you had better get ready - because over the course of the next few weeks and months you are going to hear an awful lot about him...
Hey Jeffrey,
I'm writing articles on the MLB 9s and thought you'd be interested in the Boston Red Sox piece.
