Honestly, we are trying to be positive. But, day after day, the Red Sox are making it very difficult not to be at least puzzled by these off-season moves. Tonight, the Red Sox signed journeyman pitcher John Maine to a minor league contract. Are you kidding me? This guy was jettisoned by the Orioles and the Mets.Maine does have fewer hits than innings pitched over his seven-year career, but he's a mediocre pitcher with a 4.35 ERA and is injury-prone. His career WHIP is 1.339. Come on.
