Kevin Thomas does not always write about baseball.

On Baseball: Red Sox ponder future of pitching prospects
In this season of attrition and poor performances, the Boston Red Sox used 25 pitchers. From his locker in the Pawtucket clubhouse, right-hander Alex Wilson watched a lot of teammates pack up for Boston. “I got used to it,” said Wilson, who never received the call himself. “They don’t have to make a decision about […]
