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.

Every week, I'm supposed to take four hours and do a quality spot-check at the paper mill. And of course the one year I blow it off, this happens.

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.
