Lou Merloni’s involvement with Red Sox broadcasts shouldn’t stop with the 60 or so games he is booked for as part of WEEI’s radio booth in the coming season.
It seems here that it would be a no-brainer for NESN to add him to its rotation of Red Sox color analysts, which has a massive vacancy with the retirement of the unparalleled Dennis Eckersley at the end of last season.
NESN pieced together its broadcast booth around play-by-play voice Dave O’Brien last year, with Eckersley, Kevin Youkilis, Tony Massarotti, and occasionally Kevin Millar all part of the color-analyst carousel.
