Red Sox management took another bold step in its strategy of covertly siphoning away key parts of the 2012 Wild Card-finalist Texas Rangers by acquiring reliever Koji Uehara. Uehara joins fellow former Texas teammates Ryan Dempster and, allegedly, Mike Napoli.
At $4.25m for a year, Uehara’s a good deal. He is 37, but posted a 1.75 ERA and a 0.64 WHIP last season. Also, his last name sounds a bit like Uhuru from Star Trek, and that’s good enough for us.
Let the games begin.
So, they're signing all these other guys from the Ranges instead of Josh Hamilton?
That's like managing a band and replacing all of the musicians with everyone from E.L.O. EXCEPT Jeff Lynne.

RT @GlobeChadFinn: Through 41 games in '11, Jacoby Ellsbury had 4 HRs. He didn't hit one from Game 16 to Game 50. Hit 23 over final three months. There's time. Holy crap, RIP Ray Manzarek. Here's to some new jam sessions with Jim. http://t.co/mZwxwI0v4R
