Good job today boys, keep it up :) Three-run sixth lifts Yankees to win over Red Sox By Ian Browne / MLB.com Sunday, Mar. 3 4:20 PM FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Red Sox right-hander Ryan Dempster was crisp and effective in Sunday's start against the Yankees, firing three shutout innings. Dempster departed with a 1-0 lead, and the Yankees rallied back for a 5-2 victory. Dempster walked none and struck out two, throwing just 28 pitches. The righty has not been scored upon in his first two Grapefruit League outings. Remarkably, Dempster threw just three balls. "It was a good day of pounding the right part of the strike zone," Dempster said. "I got ahead of most of the hitters and just tried to execute pitches." The Red Sox got a quick run in the bottom of the second when Mike Napoli hit a mammoth home run over the 420-sign in right-center. It was Napoli's first homer of the Grapefruit League, and it came in his second game. That homer by Napoli was the only hit allowed by Yankees Minor Leaguer Adam Warren, who struck ...

Next one team i have dreaded to do analysis of The Red Sox Unfortunately the Red Sox will be lucky to have a winning season because they question marks are endless and the division is only getting better. Shall we begin the Red Sox need 35 wins between Jon Lester and Clay Buchholtz and need 50 with those two and one of the other 5 potential starters, my guess Ryan Dempster. John Lackey supposedly will be ready for the season and getting John Ferrell will aid in his comeback. Ferrell will be key for this staff's success but should not be blamed for its potential failure. If Lackey is not ready or slips up do not be surprised if Franklin Morales steps in. The debate of Alfredo Aceves being a starter isn't a debate. He has proved his value as a reliever and Ferrell knows it. Joel Hanrahan and Andrew Bailey should take care of 8th and 9th innings. So if starting pitching can go 7 consistently we could see a decent pitching staff. The next problem is producing at the plate. Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury a ...

Quietly excited for baseball season. Red Sox are going to contend this year (if they stay healthy). Ryan Dempster, Joel Hanrahan, Mike Napoli, Koji Uehara. All good signings. Curious to see what Stephen Drew will bring to the table, as well as Shane Victorino. And they got a kid named Brock Holt. That's a strong name. Sad to see Cody Ross go. We're getting close. Can't wait.

Cherington accepted the blame for a lack of depth in the starting rotation in 2012, according to Speier. However, he feels more confident about the team’s pitching heading into this season. The Red Sox will be stretching out Alfredo Aceves and Franklin Morales as starters in spring training in support of the projected rotation of Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, John Lackey, Ryan Dempster, and Felix Doubront. Source: MLBTradeRumors.com

The consensus in the media is that the Red Sox are indeed set with their starting 5 as follows: Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, John Lackey, Felix Doubront, and Ryan Dempster. Unnamed teams have inquired about both Franklin Morales and Andrew Bailey, but there are no rumors of note at this point. It will likely be a quiet conclusion to the offseason.

OSTON -- At a time of year where managers like to plot out potential starting lineups on a paper napkin, John Farrell has one key spot that remains uncertain. While the Red Sox certainly hope to have Mike Napoli in the middle of their batting order and playing first base by the time camp opens, there are no guarantees until a contract is actually signed. However, Farrell isn't fretting over the situation. Instead, he continues to work on matters that are under his control. "It's understood," said Farrell, who was a guest at Theo Epstein's Hot Stove/Cool Music baseball roundtable Friday. "This isn't like it's a major surprise at this point. I have the utmost confidence that this question will be answered in due time. We're working through it." Whether or not Napoli eventually comes on board, Farrell looks at the newcomers (Shane Victorino, Jonny Gomes, Stephen Drew, Ryan Dempster, etc.) that will join the existing core (Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Will Middlebrooks, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester) and is exc ...

Just read this on espn, its worth reading if you are a rangers fan .Texas Rangers fans might be forgiven if they've found their team's offseason more than a little underwhelming thus far. After all, Texas watched a huge part of its offense depart via free agency or trade in Josh Hamilton, Mike Napoli and Michael Young, then saw Mike Adams, Ryan Dempster, Scott Feldman and Koji Uehara defect from the pitching staff as well. Adding insult to injury, they lost out on Zack Greinke to the Los Angeles Dodgers and have so far been unable to consummate their long-rumored interest in Justin Upton. As they've watched their division rivals in Los Angeles -- the Angels -- reload with Hamilton and a rebuilt pitching staff, the sum of the Texas' free agent acquisitions to this point has been one-year contracts for Lance Berkman, Jason Frasor, A.J. Pierzynski and Geovany Soto, plus a two-year deal for injured reliever Joakim Soria. Yet despite the seemingly disappointing winter, there's still plenty of reason for optimi ...

Red Sox (806 runs allowed, 4.70 team ERA) - The Red Sox upgraded their rotation by signing Ryan Dempster to a two-year contract. They've also addressed their bullpen, trading for Joel Hanrahan and signing Koji Uehara to a one-year contract. On defense, Shane Victorino will play right field, but defensive standout Jose Iglesias no longer projects as a starter and it looks as though Mike Napoli will replace the sure-handed combination of Adrian Gonzalez and James Loney at first base.

I certainly don’t like the Red Sox signing Ryan Dempster if they don’t add another starting pitcher. Let’s say a real middle-of-the-rotation starter. Dempster was hit really hard when he.

Red Sox Boston Red Sox There's a difference between the Most Improved list and the Most Free Agents Signed list. You know that. We know that. The Red Sox know that. So if we were ranking by volume, well, heck -- the Red Sox just about lead the league in that. Since their 2012 ship sank to the bottom of the AL East sea, they've added Ryan Dempster, Koji Uehara, Shane Victorino, Jonny Gomes, Stephen Drew, David Ross, a new manager (John Farrell) and, if his deal ever becomes official, Mike Napoli. Clearly, then, they're better, even though that whole group will be on the wrong side of 30 by Opening Day. But how much better? Lots of divided opinion on that. They're deeper. Our panel agreed on that. Their clubhouse should be much more harmonious. They've added more of Law's top 50 free agents (six) than any other team in either league. And "they've brought in a bunch of guys who can play in Boston," said one AL executive. But on the other hand & "They've added a lot," said one AL exec. "But remember, they had ...

FWD: My most favorite pitcher in the Chicago Cubs History, Ryan Dempster has been traded to the Texas Rangers...Its been great seeing him on the field but he is at a new stadium in Texas...best of luck to him and hopefulley wins a World Seris and hopefully comes back to play with the Cubs :(

have preliminary interest in Ryan Dempster, says also interested.

have shown only preliminary interest in free agent starter Ryan Dempster. Didn't pursue him aggressively at trade deadline either

In the SP and OF markets. Maybe Ryan Dempster is an option. But I wouldn't expect anything significant. Might resign Bourn.

Interested in Dan Haren (if healthy), Ryan Dempster and Shaun Marcum. Nothing else that I know of.

The have reached out to free agent Pitcher Ryan Dempster.

I hope the Twins really are looking at Ryan Dempster! If he goes back to the Cubbies or to the Twins I will be a happy girl!

If the Dempster market falls to the Nationals they should be waiting, but they shouldn't make him a target.

Definitely some pitching. Would love to see a sign of Edwin Jackson or Ryan Dempster.

no because no one wants to play in Atlanta if they have a choice to go elsewhere. Just ask Ryan Dempster

Holy cow, Ryan Dempster will be doing his fine-tuned Harry Caray impersonations on the Harry Caray's float at Magnificent Lights Festival!

Yeah, since "inquiring" about Ryan Dempster is pretty important. You probably jumped for joy when Marquis was signed

Hearing the have also officially inquired about free agent Ryan Dempster. Reminder: inquires are not uncommon. No offers made yet.

At some point today I am going to write about Ryan Dempster. Thoughts Nats fans.

Ryan Dempster, in what could be last Wrigley start, stretches scoreless innings streak to 33! Cubs over AZ 3-0 in 6th

Blue Jays could have Edwin Jackson,Zack Grenkie,Ryan Dempster, a few could be in Toronto maybe none

I think the Yankees will be unstoppable if they pick up Ryan dempster an Zach Greinke!

If Lohse is too expensive. Dan Haren, Shaun Marcum, or Ryan Dempster. You could even sell me on Brandon McCarthy.

How do the names Kelley Shoppach, Kendrys Morales, and Shawn Marcum or Ryan Dempster or Joe Blanton sound to fans?

Yankees and Ryan Dembster I think its a good move and why Texas ould use Dempster as well as Diamondbacks and blue jays

Romney with the early 8 to 3 lead. We've seen this before, let's just hope Ryan Dempster isn't asked to hold this lead.

Just blasted my nutritional knowledge to former Chicago Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster at work today.

I mean I'm going with Ryan Dempster for sure

Boston Globe speculating Cardinals may have interest in free-agent Ryan Dempster for back of the rotation:

Mark Lowe, Scott Feldman, Koji Uehara, Mike Adams, Ryan Dempster, Mike Napoli, Josh Hamilton are all now free agents!

You know what would be a hilarious signing by the Cardinals in more way then one? Ryan Dempster

Who should they sign? Dan Haren, Edwin Jackson, Ryan Dempster would all help. But who they do go after is probably neither of them

Pretty sure I just saw Ryan Dempster in a Bears serapé on TV.

Big-name FA's Zack Greinke,Anibal Sanchez,Kyle Lohse & Ryan Dempster all linked to hopefully AA will throw $$ at 2 of 4 starters

The Blue Jays have been linked to Zack Greinke, Anibal Sanchez, Kyle Lohse or Ryan Dempster, according to Major League sources.

These are the only free agents I want to see the Cubs go after this offseason. OF Josh Hamilton, SP Zach Greinke, OF Michael Bourn, SP Ryan Dempster, or CL Jose Valverde. Also as a surprise try to trade for CL Brian Wilson. Bring the beard to Chicago!

Carlos Zambrano, Fukudome, DeRosa, Juan Pierre, Ryan Dempster, LaTroy Hawkins, Kevin Gregg, and Ronny Cedeno all free agents this year.

Went to the Charity game with Jamie & Suzi Friday nite at the allstate arena. 2010 Blackhawks against the world (actually a bunch of pretty great guys even with Carcillo on the team who fought with Ryan Dempster LOL LOL). I always liked Adam Burish and with him putting it together for charity was just awesome. lots of fun and actually some great Hockey moves from all. I will remember all the guys who played from other teams when Real Hockey ever comes back.

When fox cuts back into the game and Ryan Dempster is dressed up and says "have a great day with whatever your going to do"..

The Derek Holland/Ryan Dempster/Harry Carey clip at the end of that commercial just reminds me of how those two conspired to blow game 162.

Nevermind. Just found this piece on him, and the Rangers locked him up already.

Looking back on the Cubs' deadline deals: Ryan Dempster and four other Chicago veterans were dealt at the ...

He is a former Cub, but I'll give this to Ryan Dempster: He gets in and stays in character.

to Ryan Dempster: "x minutes left and your team is down a goal. What's the strategy now? Cheat?"

The Dodgers also are looking at Torii Hunter, Jake Peavy, Ryan Dempster, and Fernando Rodney are on the Dodgers Radar if they get released. Except my friends friend doesnt see Torii Hunter as a fit because we have to many OF's but if we do get him and Kemp gets injured again Hunter will start. He will most likely share part time with Crawford or Kemp will move to left and Hunter will play in center field for some games only. ._.

Ryan Dempster is a class act. He was at the farm with his family today and was gracious enough to give the kettle corn crew autographs! He is sooo good looking when he is four feet away! He has an absolutely beautiful family! Thank you for putting up with us fans!

Saw Ryan Dempster at the corner of my block. I told him I was routing for him, he smiled and thanked me.
