I’ve never been the type of person who’s enjoyed giving people what they wanted. In fact, one of my favorite pastimes (in addition to explaining why someone’s argument is poorly constructed) is purposely taking a contrarian viewpoint on a particular topic rather...

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...

Will Carroll is known far and wide as the “injury expert” — as his Twitter name suggests — and having read a lot of his work over the last few years, I’d have to say the name fits him rather well. Carroll has been spot on with his sports...

photo © 2007 Keith Allison | more info (via: Wylio) Last week, I wrote an article for ESPN’s Sweet Spot Network in which I took a look at Dustin Pedroia’s spike in power last season. My conclusions were not that Pedroia is turning into a power hitter, but...

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...

My intention was to post Red Sox hitter projections but it appears that Charlie Saponara has that covered. Since my system does not account for park affects – it was developed for fantasy baseball – Sponara’s will certainly do a better job with new...

Last night’s 6-0 victory over the Angels didn’t gain the Sox any games in the standings. With the Yankees and Rays both victorious, Boston still sits five and a half games behind the AL East’s co-leaders. You’d be forgiven, though, if you felt...

Yesterday, Alex Rodriguez hit his 600th career home run. While fanfare was mixed — most non-Yankee fans could care less — the one thing that jumped to my mind was how rough of a season A-Rod is actually having and how hard it was for him to finally reach...
