Mirabelli Gone
THANK GOD Red Sox waived catcher Doug Mirabelli for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release. The Red Sox guaranteed Mirabelli only $150,000 when they re-signed him, so they're not losing...

AMEN!!!!! Thank Goodness...you need someone who can hit above the Mendosa line and at the same time he is used to catching the other knuckleballers in the Sox system so the sox are now good to go

All of you are are saying "thank God" and "Amen" that Dougie was let go, were you the same ones cheering for him when they brought him back? Granted, he was never a great hitter, but to be so grateful...

This is a great move by Theo, give Cash or Brown a shot. As for cheering when he had that ridiculous police escort a couple of years back, I (like Jim and others) was saying what a stupid trade at the...

I think that you will see 'Belli accept a minor league contract. A veteran working with the young pitchers at Portland and/or Pawtucket, all the while giving the most at-bats to Kotteras and Brown....

Wow, the guy has a ring on each hand - something no one could do in 80 yrs. A team player doing drudge work, never whined, caught a guy no one could, helped making that pitcher and his team winners,...

Welcome to the RR squashhead we look forward to reading more of your posts. I quite frankly was surprised that Dougie was signed for this year...was it the 'bring the entire team back thing' I don't...

All I have to say is Thank You. I know Mirabelli's ability to catch Wake made a difference. He wasn't there for his bat but for his glove. But I understand why the FO has made this decision. Age...

Firstly thanks Doug for the part you played on both championship teams. Now I can't say I am sad to see him go. Wake will just have to deal with it now. I do have to wonder what would have been if the...

So now are both Cash and Dusty in the remaining 40? It would make sense to take both of them (in the 30 man list) to Japan, as taking only 2 catchers would be a bit risky. Or is Kottaras a possibility...

Dougie will always be one of the 25...both times! Change is hard. Thought Curt did a great job on his blog noting the non-baseball contributions Doug made to the Red Sox.

There is no doubt that Dougie was loved by his teammates and will be missed. I would guess that the FO decided it was less disruptive to let him go during ST than release him later. I loved Dougie and...

Doug's bat had to have slowed dramatically to bring the RS to this conclusion. Cash is a non factor at the plate, so with that in mind, just how bad did Belli look?
View ArticleRe: Mirabelli Gone
Surprising that teK would publically diss the management for this move. Very unKaptainlike. Also a tough way to show leadership to Cash. Seems to me he is off to a Bardlike start with the team and...

Wake was on WEEI today and said he is comfortable with Cash and will get more and more confortable with him. He also said he was fine with Bard when he was here. He did say he will miss Dougie, but...
