If you can’t wait for baseball – and let’s face it, we know you can’t – here’s something to think about: Yesterday will be the last Sunday without any sort of baseball for the next 7-8 months. I like the sound of that.
- Alfredo Aceves, your antics can end anytime now that this team is under new management. Looks like you had to get the memo in person. (Alfredo Aceves earns a lecture from Red Sox manager John Farrell)
- He can flash the leather, sure, but Jose Iglesias has always been okay at best with a bat. It’s a good thing to see him get some dedicated time to better his hitting. (Iglesias focused on improving … not a roster spot)
- Now Daniel Nava‘s playing first base? I bet Scott Hatteburg admires his enthusiasm. Hit an iconic walk-off homer while you’re at it. (Nava getting his feet wet at first)
- This bullpen is looking more and more deadly as the offseason goes on. Daniel Bard is looking fantastic. (It’s Early, But Daniel Bard Looks ‘A Lot Better’ Than Last Year)
- He was born to wake and rake, and Will Middlebrooks made no one doubt him when he was called up to The Show. (First Will and testament)
- It’s rare to see the Red Sox beating out the newly formed super-team, the Toronto Blue Jays, in anyone’s projections. And yet… (Red Sox’ Playoff Odds From Baseball Prospectus)
- This is a hip joint pun-free zone. None shall desecrate this blog post. Also, Mike Napoli‘s feeling just fine. So no worries. (Mike Napoli ready to increase activity after MRI shows hip condition hasn’t worsened)
- I’m stunned that Josh Beckett isn’t on this list. Absolutely floored, I tell ya. (How Much Time the Pitchers Took)
On a scale from 1 to Jack Nicholson’s character from The Shining, how crazy is Aceves?
