Remembering The Transition From Ted To Yaz

It's Here BoSox Fans, Truck Day!

Sometime around noon today, a large equipment van will slowly pull away from Fenway Park on a nearly 1,500-mile journey to Fort Myers. Yes, it is finally here—Truck Day. Forget about the first robin being spotted in some bog on Nantucket, this is the official start of Spring in New England. Bats, balls, gloves, ace bandages, they're all being transported to that land of eternal optimism—Florida. And our special little holiday is pure Boston, right?

Not so fast! Now we get word that a half a dozen or so other MLB teams are horning in on this previously exclusive Boston ritual. Kind of like when the Mets tried to use Sweet Caroline to get their moribund fans to root for that fiasco in Flushing. It didn't work. You can't copy genuine spontaneity. And you can't fake like you have a good team. Something tells me that Truck Day for the Mets, Cubs, Indians and Royals will not quite capture the magic that happens every year along Yawkey Way. Don't worry, Boston. Truck Day will always be ours. And ours alone.

Interview With Sox #1 Prospect Casey Kelly

When you're a young, multi-skilled athlete like #1 Sox prospect Casey Kelly, you never know how information will come to you. When Kelly's name was being bandied about as the centerpiece of various off-season trades, he had no clue. "My best friend from high-school called me and said I was in a few trade proposals", said Kelly, appeared recently at the Jimmy Fund's "New Stars For Young Stars V" at Jillian's. BoSox Club Board Member Ernie Paicopolos had a chance to chat with Kelly briefly during a break in the festivities.

Kelly couldn't be bothered by the Hot Stove trade chatter. He was too focused on figuring out his best route to the major leagues--as a shortstop or a pitcher. In December, he and the Red Sox made the decision that the mound was going to be his ticket to the Bigs. The word is that he could be an elite starter--with a plus 12-6 curveball, a low-to-mid 90s fastball, and a decent change-up. So far, the results have been impressive and he is likely to be in the AA Sea Dogs starting rotation in 2010.

Does he have any regrets about laying down the lumber for the rosin bag? "Not really. This is the best chance I have at a good long career in the major leagues."

Kelly was recruited as a QB by Tennessee (he threw for 4,212 yards and 37 touchdowns in High School), and is a prime example of the kind of athleticism the Red Sox are looking for in their player development process.

Look for Kelly to be on the hill at Fenway in a few short years.
