WELCOME BACK, KAPLER: While waiting out the latest pretend-deadline on the Alex Rodriguez deal, the Boston Red Sox yesterday re-signed outfielder Gabe Kapler, not to be confused with Gabe Kaplan, who they had released two days before.
With Schilling and Foulke (and A-Rod?) in the fold, the names have all changed since Kapler hung around. But those dreams (of a championship) have remained and they're turned around, for one of baseball's only Jewish players.
Welcome back.
