Well, the Sox aren’t off to the best start, but who cares if a three-game losing streak comes in April or June, right? One bright spot, however, has been the early power surge by David Ortiz, who didn’t hit his first home run last season until April 23rd....

While Justine DeCotis will be providing more detail on the Opening Day lineup in today’s Game Thread, I’d be remiss if I didn’t comment the lineup’s interesting omission. As reported by Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe, here is the batting order Terry Francona will...

When I started writing about baseball, it was through fantasy baseball. My site is indeed aptly named Fantasy Baseball 365. So, I would be remiss not to write something related to fantasy baseball and the Red Sox. Lucky for the Sox, there are plenty of players to...

It’s been well documented, David Ortiz doesn’t hit left-handed pitching very well anymore. Though Terry Francona may feel like sitting Papi against lefties would ruin his timing, rhythm, whatever, the reality is that a platoon situation would probably...

The Red Sox have accumulated so much talent this offseason that they have a problem. OK, so it’s a good, nay, GREAT problem to have. How does Terry Francona fill out his opening day lineup card and keep things balanced? The Sox have five left-handed hitting...

Tick, tock. Tick, tock… David Ortiz’s time with the Red Sox may be coming to an end. If it happens, it’s all his fault. There is a $12.5 M team option on Ortiz’s current contract with no buyout. This gives Sox management a choice between...
