Brad Wilkerson will turn 32 next season, and is attempting to rebound from one of his worst statistical seasons of his career. Wilkerson was designated for assignment by the Seattle Mariners on April 30th and signed by Toronto on May 9th after they lost Frank Thomas. A career 2.47 hitter, his numbers have not been the same since leaving the National League, where, from 2002-2005, he averaged 20 homeruns playing for the Montreal Expos and Washington Nationals. Considering his offensive ability, versatility in the outfield and first base, plus a little personal bias, I think Brad Wilkerson could be a great sign as a fourth outfielder for the Boston Red Sox in 2009.

Rob Neyer was gracious enough to answer a few questions for Fire Brand of the American League. Check out his answers below, as he seems to agree with Peter Gammons in an earlier Fire Brand interview that David Ortiz is not done, and he stands by his contention that Jim Rice is not a Hall of Famer. After hearing his thoughts on these two subjects, I offer up my own rebuttals.

Don’t worry, Norv.  Just call a timeout and everything will be fine. It’s playoff time.  When last these two teams…
