When the Red Sox added Adrian Gonzalez this offseason I made a small disclaimer that his output would be similar to Adrian Beltre in 2010 in terms of WAR. They do it a bit differently, but so far that looks about right. Gonzalez is obviously a better player going...

Fair or not, the 2011 Red Sox have been compared to the 1946 Red Sox since before the season began. The reason why is clear: the 1946 Red Sox was the last Red Sox team to win 100 games, going 104-50, good for a .675 winning percentage. The 2011 Red Sox are currently...

Last nigh, with one swing of the bat, Jacoby Ellsbury thrust himself upward as perhaps the top contender for AL MVP. Stats are one thing, but some of the baseball writers that vote on awards seem to love when a player asserts himself down the stretch, especially if...

Dec. 18th, 2010 Merry Christmas, Boston. You have the makings of a shutdown bullpen. We could have written that headline last Christmas after the Red Sox stacked their bullpen with top-of-the-line relievers. The reliever binge made the 7th, 8th and 9th innings an...

photo © 2011 WEBN-TV | more info (via: Wylio) Did you know that, despite sitting atop the Red Sox offensive juggernaut, Jacoby Ellsbury has yet to score 100 runs in a single-season? This year, that is going to change. 2011 might be Ellsbury’s best year to date....
