The first thing you probably said when you looked at the starting rotation of the 2015 Red Sox this morning probably wasn’t “yeah, this’ll work”. Knowing you, it was probably something like “eh”, “meh”, or a statement...

Monday was one of the most exciting days in quite some time for fans of Red Sox prospects, as Xander Bogaerts joined the team. If you want the full story on Bogaerts and his potential, Ben Carsley did a great job summing it up here. My mind has been churning all week...

There is no shortage of opinions when it comes to patrons of The Internet and the Red Sox farm system. Boston’s minor league talent has become a focal point for fans at a time when our prospects are good and our major league team more challenged on paper than it has...

If Bobby Valentine represents all the evils that poured out of baseball’s Pandora’s Box last year, Xander Bogaerts can be the hope that escapes shortly thereafter. Yes, it’s rarely wise to make bold predictions when writing about baseball, and that’s doubly true when...
