When the Red Sox received Joe Kelly from the St. Louis Cardinals in July of last season, the 26-year old was at a crossroads in his career as a major leaguer. Over his two and a half year career in St. Louis, the right-hander spent nearly equal time between starting...

The boys of summer are starting to head down to Fort Myers, and actual baseball things are happening for the first time since October. While the cold might still be lingering in the northeast, only 66 short day separate Red Sox Nation from the baseball season, which...

I’m one of the few people that believes that the Red Sox will be just fine without adding an ace before the season starts. Call it drinking the John Henry Kool-aid if you want, but when I look around the division, I see just about every team in the same position...

The “Prospects To Know” series continues with the Red Sox top left-handed pitching prospects, highlighted by a strong quartet of lefty prospects in the upper minors. Henry Owens Owen’s 2014 season cemented his status as the top pitching prospect in the Red...

Before the season began, I tried to identify five prospects in the Red Sox system that would have breakout years in 2014. Now that the Red Sox have finished up, I’m looking back to see how well I did in predicting prospects that would have big years this past season....

Despite Andrew Miller’s dominance out of the bullpen, acquiring Eduardo Rodriguez at the trade deadline was a coup for the Red Sox. The Red Sox were a busy team prior to the 2014 trade deadline, making multiple deals in a flurry of activity as the clock ticked down on...

At some point over the next week, I’ll release my version of the Top 15 prospects currently in the Red Sox farm system. Before I do that, I thought it might be a good idea to look at five prospects that we don’t really know a lot about, but...

Somewhere along the line a few years back, I decided that just writing about Fantasy baseball and just writing about the minor leagues wasn’t niche enough: I needed to write about both at the same time. It was that lucrative and wildly successful decision that led me...

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,...

To begin with, this article will mean nothing in two years. In fact, in as few as six months, all of these words could be rendered rather meaningless. That’s probably not the best way to inspire you to read further, but when addressing the MLB draft, it’s best to...
