Kevin Thomas
Kevin Thomas does not always write about baseball. It just seems that way, starting with his early days covering spring training for the St. Petersburg Times, to his current role of bi-locating at both Hadlock Field and Fenway Park, reporting on the Portland Sea Dogs and Boston Red Sox.

On Baseball: Ranaudo still a work in progress
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Several scouts were scattered throughout the box seats of Northeast Delta Dental Stadium on Monday night, taking a look at Portland Sea Dogs right-hander Anthony Ranaudo. They pointed radar guns and jotted down notes. But one scout’s gesture said it all. After watching Ranaudo, he held out his hand and then raised […]
Mets 11, Sea Dogs 7: Good hitting, bad defense

On Baseball: Ranaudo’s extra time in Florida just a precaution
PORTLAND – It has been called the purgatory of the minor leagues: Extended spring training. It is where young players wait for the rookie leagues to begin in June, and injured players wait to be healed.
