I will be writing a team preview for each of the Red Sox minor league affiliates over the next four weeks. First up the Pawtucket Red Sox, who feature a new manager (Gary DiSarcina), and a roster filled with valuable depth for the major league team as they look to...

I haven’t seen an official list of the potential replacements for Bobby Valentine yet, but if there is one, then I hope Pawtucket Red Sox Manager Arnie Beyler’s name is on it. Of any of the potential internal candidates (Gary Tuck, Tim Bogar, Dave Magadin), Beyeler is...

Scary doesn’t even begin to describe what it was like watching the injury suffered by Lowell Spinners pitcher Brian Johnson in the opener of the Futures at Fenway doubleheader on Saturday. Johnson, who was Boston’s first-round pick (31st overall) in this year’s draft,...

Even though he spent nearly 14 months on the disabled list, the last thing Pawtucket Red Sox outfielder Ryan Kalish wants is pity. “Maybe my nicks are a little different than other guys’,” Kalish said in an understatement. “But nobody’s feeling sorry for me. I’m not...

To say Zach Stewart made a favorable impression in his first start for the Pawtucket Red Sox would be like saying The Green Monster is painted, oh, green. Stewart, who was acquired from the White Sox in the trade for Kevin Youkilis, came up big Wednesday night as the...

Following are examples of the havoc Pawtucket Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks has been wreaking on International League pitching this season: In Pawtucket’s April 5 season opener at McCoy Stadium, Middlebrooks ripped line-drive doubles on his first two swings...

Ted Williams once said hitting a baseball is the single most difficult thing to do in sports. Try telling that to International League pitchers who’ve faced catcher Ryan Lavarnway since he was promoted from Portland to Pawtucket on June 13. Through his first 40...
by mike scandura | Apr 9, 2011 | Arnie Beyeler, Jason Rice
Managers and batters talk about hanging a crooked number on the board when their team is hitting. But as far as right-hander Jason Rice is concerned, he’s hung a nice round number on the board – or in this case, his stat sheet. Rice, who morphed into the Portland Sea...

One thing Arnie Beyeler won’t have to do in his first season as the Pawtucket Red Sox’ manager is purchase a program so he can tell who’re his players. Beyeler, who replaces Torey Lovullo (he was hired as Toronto’s first base coach after former Boston pitching coach...
