Over at CBS Sports’ MLB Facts and Rumors earlier today, I noted that the Red Sox seemed likely to call up Felix Doubront to start on Friday. On one hand, it’s great news that the Red Sox have developed yet another young lefty (22 years of age) who can step...

Red Sox offense is in good shape. The local nine is second in runs scored and OPS. The lineup has been legit even with Jeremy Hermida (649 OPS) and Darnell McDonald (746 OPS) getting 246 of the 1920 Red Sox at-bats or 12.8%. The other seven regulars are collectively...
