The “Prospects To Know” series continues this week with the Red Sox outfield prospects to watch in 2015. Bryce Brentz Brentz possesses some of the best power in the Red Sox system, but doesn’t make enough contact to get to that power consistently. He’s also had...

While most of the baseball world tuned in to Derek Jeter’s historic final game at Yankees Stadium, the Red Sox were busy routing the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight night. Similar to Anthony Ranaudo on Wednesday, Allen Webster ended his season on a high...

While no Red Sox rookie has truly captured a rotation spot on next years team, Anthony Ranaudo left a good final impression in his last start of the 2014 season. After the Rays tallied two first inning runs against the right-hander, Ranaudo settled down and went on to...

After about a month of waiting, Red Sox fans finally got their first look at Rusney Castillo on Wednesday. The 27-year old Cuban defector assumed the seventh spot in the Red Sox order, and manned center field in his first big league game. After playing in three...

The release of A.J. Pierzynski on Wednesday marked a turning point for the Red Sox this season. The youth movement has started in earnest, with the club starting five rookies on Wednesday night. As Alex Skillin wrote earlier this week, more moves should be on the way...

It’s not a secret that the Red Sox have been taking on water ever since they touted a 20-19 record on May 14th. Even though a lot of blame has been placed on injuries, the sheer ineptitude of some players has been just as much of a culprit. Sure, you can point...

Today marked the end of the Red Sox 10-game losing streak, a dubious accomplishment that I can say I wouldn’t have expected from the defending champs. The Sox currently sit at 21-29, solidly in last place in the AL East. With still over 100 games remaining in the...

One of the biggest strengths of last year’s Red Sox team was the strong performances the squad got from its bench spots. Indeed, Boston’s depth proved crucial in taking advantage of platoon pairings on a nightly basis, softening the blow of any injuries to starters,...

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – Somewhere in baseball’s book of clichés is the one that says all a manager can hope for from his starting pitcher is that he keeps his team in the game. That was the story Thursday afternoon when Pawtucket Red Sox right-hander Rubby De La Rosa...

“Prospects will break your heart.” All credit to Jason Parks of Baseball Prospectus for that phrase, but in the wake of Kolbrin Vitek‘s retirement, I couldn’t find any one more fitting. For anyone that missed it, Vitek, Boston’s...
