Similar to pudge coming back. It is so they can get their number retired at fenway and get around the “rules” that you have to end your career with the red sox.

Still glad to have him back in any capacity though. One of the greatest pitchers ever…especially considering the era he pitched in.

Awesome. Happy to see him back! He’ll be great to have around the young pitchers. 

Suit him up!

This is one of the greatest pitchers the Sox have ever had and perhaps in a short career/Koufax sort of way one of the greatest pitchers of all time.This may turn out to be one of the key moves of the offseason, as in: if the current bland personality/poor conditioning pitchers we have, can get just a little of the Pedro magic to rub off on them,  it will all be worth it.

I like the idea, but I wonder if they will get anything done with him Hamming it up all the time!  The guy is quite the character.  Who though with they way things went down when he signed with the Mets that he would ever be back?

Pedro did not leave here under happy circumstances.  I seem to remember a lot of hard feelings and harsh remarks.  Pedro couldn’t stand sharing the spotlight with Schilling.  He also didn’t seem to be too friendly toward Americans. I remember many instances of him saying that we didn’t understand something or other in this country.  On top of everything else,  he went to New York.

Just exactly what does he bring to the organization?  I’m not aware of anything else he can do beside throw a baseball.

 Can we get all these guys back into shape for a run late in the season. I think we’re going to need them. 

That is great. Experience is a must ingredient to being successful. Go Red Sox 2013!

Hey Pedro, happy to have you back.   

Are you kinding me?  In a year where all we hear is the need for a good clubhouse presence, Ben brings Petro back?  We will never know but wonder if this is an owner’s decision since the team itself is boring.

Welcome Back Pedro!!!! I am so happy he’s back with the Red Sox. He is one of the best pitchers EVER to play the game. I hope he can help not just with the pitchers, but in every area of the organization. He played the game with passion and is a beloved and respected sports figure in Boston. You should be glad to have him there. Nice to see both him & Veritek back, I miss the ’04 & ’07 teams. Let’s get ready to play some baseball!!!

A coaching staff of Farrell, Nieves, John Tuck, Jason Varitek, and now Pedro to get the staff prepared in spring training should bring positive results. Despite reading all the BS from fans and reporters the last few months about Ben and the ownership, I guess these folks running the ballclub have a game plan for improvement. 

You’re kidding, right?  Were you paying attention during those years?  Pedro went 117-37.  117-37??  That’s crazy.  The guy, despite all the off-field antics and diva moments, knew how to prepare himself on game day, knew how to win, was as competitive and wanted to win as much as anyone who ever took the mound, and can teach young pitchers how to make adjustments, how to approach hitters, how to determine hitters’ strengths and weaknesses…etc.   Have you ever heard Pedro talk about pitching and what he did to get ready for each hitter?  It’s a clinic on how a major league pitcher puts himself in a position to win.  Those are guys whose insight you should utilitize and pass along to young pitchers trying to make a mark on this franchise.  I can’t think of a reason NOT to use Pedro’s expertise.

Thats great news! Red Sox Predictions 106.0 Sox sign Kyle Lohse SP Cardinals this addition
would have Sox with one of the top overall(SPand RP) pitching staffs.

117-37 with a 2.52 ERA, and that’s right through the heart of the steroid era. Wow. You reading this, Lester?

7 years 117 and 37 2;58 era amazing.Watching him pitch was a pleasure almost like going too a concert.

He was the closest thing to Kofax as you will ever see in Boston.

Slot him in between Dempster & Doubront. Things are looking better already!

Loved Pedro when he pitched here. And maybe he can work with De La Rosa, again . However, can’t anyone see how shallow Sox ownership group is making this most obvious publicity move the same week Francona’s book comes out ? Goes to show where their priorities are, again.

Honestly, I would rather give the ball to Pedro every five days than John Lackey. At least Pedro won’t blame every member of the infield for giving up a million hits. 

great move he can help our pitching staff for sure. You are coming around little Ben

He can contribute with his Dominican influence.

“our” ?   Lmfao

I love Pedro and if he accomplishes one thing I hope it’s mentoring Rubby De La Rosa. They have similar pitching styles and both are latino so hopefully pedro and him can get on the same page

He’s great at breaking down a pitchers outing during the game,pitch by pitch..Will be helpful with the younger pitchers during spring training….He’s coming on board as a special assistant…Pedro will also be instrumental in recruiting young pitchers from the Dominican…Pedro is said to have a lot of influence with young players in the dominican currently.

Dano,we have 7 to 9 guys who can start this year….The only lining on signing a guy like Lohse is that we won’t have to give up a draft pick because we were one of the ten worst teams this year…Not sure he would be successful at fenway considering he pitches to contact,but who knows.
