...Until pitchers and catchers report.

But at the Boston Globe, they're already adding up the winners and losers in the Yankees-Red Sox Hot Stove sweepstakes.

The verdict: the Red Sox have outdone the Yankees because they've signed closer Keith Foulke, who registered 43 saves for the Oakland A's last year. To wit:

...the one move that might shift the balance of power Boston's way is the signing of closer Keith Foulke.

True, if the post-season doesn't count. Foulke had one (1) playoff save opportunity last season for the Oakland A's, in Game 5 against the Red Sox in the division series.

Kinda didn't go so well. In one inning, he gave up three hits, two earned runs, and registered a blown save and the loss. It ended the A's season.

But if Foulke has any problems in the 2004 post-season, the Red Sox shouldn't worry. They have another closer with a lot of post-season experience: B.K. Kim.

Even though I'm biased toward the Red Sox, I felt like maybe the author of that article had put on his rose colored glasses and had a few too many nogs when he wrote it.
