Here are some predictions for the offseason from Evan, Charlie and Tom… What are the destinations of… CARL CRAWFORD Evan: I have to give the nod to the Red Sox here. Boston’s going to pursue both Crawford and Jayson Werth, but Werth scares me....

Now that the Red Sox are officially out of the playoffs, we will resume laying out the winter plan. We already discussed the need and what it will probably take to bring back Victor Martinez. The second major part of the off season to-do list is to figure out the...

The Red Sox ended up splitting their four-game series in the Bronx Monday with a 2-1 win. While it was pitching that won the game, it was a small change in lineup construction that could pay dividends over the last two months, should it stick. However, along with...

As the Red Sox world turns, it is reflecting more and more like a general hospital. On a daily basis another player is heading to the disabled list. The Olde Towne Team needs to keep their collective heads above water until the starters get back on the diamond. The...

After an off season that centered around pitching and defense we had the standard jokes this April, but since May those jokes have not been about the defense. There has been some trouble finding solid options in left field and center field, but the defense has...

Everybody knows about “The Laser Show.” Dustin Pedroia is the working man of working men on the Sox roster (next to Kevin Youkilis, of course) and the straw that stirs the proverbial cocktail. Pedroia seems more like a whiskey type of guy to me, not that...

We are starting to move beyond the “it is early” excuse for the Red Sox record. The club has issues and it may be too late to resolve them. Even the most optimist projection of the Olde Towne Team’s chance of making the postseason is only at twenty...
by Troy Patterson | May 13, 2010 | Adrian Beltre, Adrian Gonzalez, Boston Red Sox
I still have trouble listening when people talk about how adding a bat would make a huge difference on this team. Perhaps they are referring to the failed attempt to keep Jason Bay or perhaps they would like a trade for an all star hitter like Adrian Gonzalez. Well...

With the Red Sox treading water just above .500 after a month and a half of the season, its too early to fully embrace the “wait ’till next year” mentality. At the same time however, you had better believe Theo Epstein and his advisors have played...

These past two nights, we’ve gotten a glimpse of what this team could look like with things going right. Strong pitching performances by Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester, backed by an offense that at worst grinds down opposing pitchers and at best can be explosive,...
