by Troy Patterson | Apr 27, 2010 | Adrian Gonzalez, Albert Pujols, Boston Red Sox, Ryan Howard
I’ve never thought the Red Sox had much shot of adding Adrian Gonzalez this past off-season or any year before his free agency year. So far this season though, Gonzalez and the Padres have made a deal even harder as he is off to a huge start and the Padres are...

Last Sunday I wrote about how the Sox have a step up on a majority of major league competition because they did well in the margins, specifically quality fourth and fifth starters. This week I will examine the opposite — the $39.5 million dollar albatross in...
by mike scandura | Apr 25, 2010 | Bob Tewksbury, Boston Red Sox, Ryan Kalish
Outfielder Ryan Kalish fell so far below the proverbial Mendoza Line shortly after he was promoted to Portland last season that he was virtually invisible. Kalish began the season at high-A Salem and literally hit his way into a promotion to the Sea Dogs. In 32 games...
