One of the biggest problems — you could even say the problem — with the Red Sox this season was starting pitching. Josh Beckett (see ya!) and Jon Lester just didn’t pitch up to snuff, and Clay Buchholz’s early troubles contributed to digging...

Yes, yes, yes. I know. Another article on the trade that sent Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, and the immortal Nick Punto to the Dodgers? We’re all a little sick of hearing about something that’s been discussed ad nauseum for the past few...
