Not everything has gone smoothly for the Red Sox during their 3-5 start to the season. They’ve made some uncharacteristic mistakes in the field, lost a couple games thanks to a leaky bullpen, and—perhaps most frustrating of all—been woeful as a team at the...

The Boston Red Sox are officially all set for Opening Day as Brandon Workman claimed the final spot in the bullpen yesterday as the team announced the 25-man roster. Workman struck out 16 batters during the spring and will likely remain on the squad until Craig...

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...

Opening day is almost here, and the Red Sox are looking for another strong season. What are the odds that they repeat as World Series champions? What individual bets might make sense for Red Sox players, and which ones would I avoid? (All over-under and lines from...

The big news from Fort Myers on Tuesday? Dustin Pedroia shaved his beard. They’re keeping busy down there in Florida, for sure. Spring training: The only time that Clay Buchholz can pitch a one inning, ineffective start and use “jitters” as a...

It was a busy weekend down on Fort Myers. After handily beating those pesky college kids, the Red Sox played their first two exhibition game of the spring against the Twins and the Orioles. NESN aired their first game of the spring. Oh, and Mike Napoli hit a home run...
