Believe me, nobody in New England is being fooled by the number of saves he's racked up.

Ozzy Guillen has a hit out on Bobby Jenks. It's just a matter of time with Jenks until Oz has his pitching arm broken.

I don't know that story, although there's very little you could tell me about Ozzy that would surprise me.

Add in Dice K who has become an annual question mark and you could have some real problems.

I don't think anybody will ever be really excited about having Dice K, but a couple of the writers who should know say that he looks VERY good this spring.

Is J.D. Drew on the DL yet?

Just a matter of time.
