Abe Alvarez, come on up! You’re our next contestant on “The Brim is Left,” where we all wear our baseball caps jauntily to the left in your honor. The object of this game is to give the weary bullpen arms a rest until September call-ups, when Craig Hansen will hopefully join you.
A fond farewell to veteran lefty Mike Remlinger. Some things just aren’t meant to be, and we just had too many effective Mikes to warrant holding on to you any longer. I was looking forward to the time when your name would be the answer to an obscure Red Sox player trivia question, and that time has come.
