As the Red Sox scour the Universe for someone to put on the "tools of ignorance", one former player is chomping at the bit to contribute. Boston Dust Mites has learned from a highly unreliable source that former Boston back-stop Bob "Crooked Number" Montgomery might be working out at a practice facility in Methuen, Massachusetts with an eye toward possibly returning to The Show.
In an exclusive and completely undocumented interview with Monty, our source claims that the only things blocking his return to the Carmine Hose are: his utter lack of conditioning and the fact that he was a marginal player at the peak of his career. Nevertheless, the Red Sox front office has reportedly sent out "feelers" to the ex-player in case their bid to re-sign Captain Jason Varitek fails. The team has set Saturday, January 31st as a deadline for coming to an agreement with Varitek.
Monty stated, "Hey, I would demand a lot less than the $10-12 million Tek is asking, and I'm a hell of a lot more fun on the road. Just ask Douggy Griffin or Juanny Beniquez." BDM will continue to follow this breaking non-story. Don't forget, as usual, we don't check our sources...and we like it!
