The 2014 edition of the Red Sox looks poised to contend again for the AL East crown. It’s a deep team with several stars and veteran leaders, balanced by some young talent. Baseball Prospectus predicts they’re an 88 win team. Every team has weaknesses though, and here...

The days of Will Middlebrooks being a burden in the Red Sox lineup are long gone. After an atrocious start to the season which led to a call down to AAA, Middlebrooks has risen up from the ashes and quietly become a major contributor to the Red Sox lineup. Since his...

Xander Bogaerts has been the focal point of the majority of articles, analyses and conversations about Red Sox prospects for the past four months. You don’t have to watch Bogaerts for very long to see that such attention is certainly warranted, and it’s been fun to...
