Every month during the season, here on Fire Brand, I take a look at the relative value of the 25 players on the current active roster. The criteria for the power rankings: 1) What is the value of each player on the Red Sox roster relative to the other players? If a...

When the Red Sox and the Cardinals get together, you know you’re in for a good game. Unless of course, the Red Sox are starting Chris Capuano. While he was part of a World Series winning squad, Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s tenure in Boston ended on a pretty...
