There are 20 players in Major League Baseball right now that have 25-plus home runs and an OBP over .360. David Ortiz is one of those players and the list of names around him represent some of the best offensive talents in the game today. Name HR OBP Jose Bautista 43...

The Red Sox ended up splitting their four-game series in the Bronx Monday with a 2-1 win. While it was pitching that won the game, it was a small change in lineup construction that could pay dividends over the last two months, should it stick. However, along with...

For a brief shining moment there, it seemed like these Red Sox were poised for a legendary season. Beset by injuries, hampered by a slow and painful start, facing an uphill battle against two tough divisional foes, the Sox rode unlikely bats, some exceptional pitching...

As the Red Sox world turns, it is reflecting more and more like a general hospital. On a daily basis another player is heading to the disabled list. The Olde Towne Team needs to keep their collective heads above water until the starters get back on the diamond. The...

Although my time at NESN was far, far shorter than I hoped/expected, I’ve moved on to the next phase of my career which takes me to the MLB Facts and Rumors blog at CBS Sports. I’ll be writing alongside long-time Mariners reporter David Andriesen...

On May fourth I asked the question, Should Jason Varitek be the Starting Catcher? Not much has changed as at the time I noted “In 146 IP thrown to Martinez the staff has a K/BB of 1.64, but when Varitek has caught in 83.6 innings the staff has thrown a 2.35...

Everybody knows about “The Laser Show.” Dustin Pedroia is the working man of working men on the Sox roster (next to Kevin Youkilis, of course) and the straw that stirs the proverbial cocktail. Pedroia seems more like a whiskey type of guy to me, not that...
