Tim Bogar is a traitor
BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox have hired former major leaguer and Tampa Bay Rays coach Tim Bogar as their new first base coach.
The 44-year-old replaces Luis Alicea, the only member of last year's staff who was not offered a contract for the 2009 season. Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein announced Bogar's hiring Friday.
The Rays title for Bogar was Quality Assurance Coach, but ESPN says he was the infield/baserunning coach.

He knows all our secrets
They do this in the NFL, a team picks up a player that was let go by their next opponent to find out about the playbook. Although baseball doesn’t have these kinds of secrets.

I'm sure he's a smart guy, but there's nothing strategically lost here.

he dealt with some strategy, but that's not to say we can't find somone better.
In his role as assistant last season, Bogar, 44, worked on advance series preparation, as well as dealing with infield defense and baserunning.

Maybe the Red Sox are just 'reminding' us that they can take our free-agent talent whenever they want.
But since none of our good players are free agents, they went ahead and hired-away one of our coaches. Yeah. How do you like them apples, EEEEH!?
