And the hits keep on coming for Carl Crawford. According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, Carl Crawford could miss upwards of three months due to an elbow injury he developed while rehabilitating from offseason wrist surgery. This is yet another setback for...

Two mailbags in a week! I’m so excited. Just a few thoughts. The scouts that claim Jon Lester is throwing too many cutters are idiots. According to pitch f/x, he’s throwing the fewest cutters in his career. He’s throwing a lot more sinkers these...

As you already know, unless you just got back from the middle of Antarctica, the Red Sox made a move to help ease the pain of their injured outfield. Marlon Byrd, 34, is now a member of the Sox and the team needs him to find a way out of his 3-for-43 start at the...

Bobby Valentine has a problem. He likes to talk. For most people, this wouldn’t be a problem. For Bobby, though, he tends to gossip to people he shouldn’t. To be fair, I feel a little bad for him. He’s a new guy in a big city without a lot of...

It’s usually hard to find things that went wrong in a 12-2 victory. That being said, it would be unfit to call the events of the Red Sox’ home opener anything more than bittersweet. Reid Brignac did his very best Adrian Beltre impression last Friday when he came...

The regular season is finally just a couple of days away! On Thursday, all of the Red Sox’s supposed overblown sins of the previous season will be washed away. The club will start anew with a fresh start, a different direction, and a chip on their shoulder. ...

The 2012 season is finally almost ready to start and the Boston Red Sox can finally put all the stories from last season out of the news with a solid start. The team is largely intact much the same as last year and while the media has spent many pages hand wringing...

Yesterday, Troy took a look at potential changes to the leadoff spot for the Sox in 2012. Given the rise in power from Jacoby Ellsbury and the consistently awesome on-base skills of Dustin Pedroia, it makes all the sense in the world to bat Pedey leadoff and Ells...

Last spring, lineup construction was one of the hottest topics of discussion surrounding the Red Sox. With so many weapon’s at Terry Francona’s disposal (not to mention the number of left handed hitters), the combinations were seemingly endless. Based on...
