It’s back! Baseball is back! Break out the party poppers! Start the ticker-tape parades down every main avenue and street! There’s actual baseball being played today!
- It’s been missing in action for a few years now, and Dustin Pedroia has noticed. His reacquired power could make his 2014 season so much better. (Dustin Pedroia’s power (or lack thereof))
- It’s a little hard to be optimistic for a guy who could break 20 bones with one wrong step, but any good news about Grady Sizemore is welcomed. (Grady Sizemore takes early progress as a good but cautious sign)
- Depth is the name of the game, and the Red Sox have tons of it, especially in the bullpen. Koji Uehara‘s not alone anymore. (Mujica, Miller Could Close When Uehara Is Not Available)
- Sound the trumpets! Pedro Martinez has arrived at Red Sox camp. Rejoice in the return of our (pitching) lord and savior! (Pedro Martinez returns to Red Sox camp)
- You like lists that make the Red Sox look good, right? Look no further! Fangraphs’ has their top 10 Sox prospects in one neat, glorious list. (2014 Top 10 Prospects: Boston Red Sox)
- He hasn’t even reached Triple-A yet and Garin Cecchini is already becoming known round the Red Sox Nation. This kid will be good. (Red Sox prospect Garin Cecchini making his name known)
- Some people remember every team they face. Matt Barnes…well, he isn’t part of that group. (Barnes finds out he’s never pitched vs. BC before)
Sports!
I’ll tell you this: Three doubles and a triple feels way better on the diamond than on the links.
