We’re three games into the season, and we essentially know nothing about the 2013 Red Sox. Well, that’s not exactly true. If you’ve visited this blog or have been living in New England at all for the past six months, you’ve probably read a little Red Sox analysis here...

The Boston Red Sox (69-93, 26 games back in 2012) visit the Bronx to open the 2013 season with a three-game set against their perennial rivals, the New York Yankees (95-67, first place in the AL East in 2012). New faces are plentiful in Boston but injuries are the...

The 2013 New York Yankees are one heck of an interesting bet. It’s not quite black/red, high/low or odd/even, but you can rest assured that outcomes in baseball really aren’t all that complicated. In fact, there are only three kinds of baseball seasons in...

Clay Buchholz had an absolutely dazzling season in 2010, and appeared to be on his way to becoming the Red Sox’ ace. The then-26-year-old right-hander went 17-7 with a 2.33 ERA that year, earning an All-Star appearance in his first real full season as a starter for...

Everyone knows the Red Sox need another starting pitcher. The problem is trying to identify who that is. It’s hard to know where to start with a rotation that doesn’t have much of an identity right now. All four players currently in it – Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz,...

It was quiet week in Red Sox rumor land this week, as the front office, it’s fans and those of us with enough time on our hands to write about them fell in and out of Turkey coma. However with the mass slaughter of birds over and cream puffs consumed, it’s time to get...

It’s that time again for a new poll! Before we get into it, the old poll yielded some interesting results. It asked who of recently-linked names to the Red Sox you fans would like to see sign with the Red Sox. I allowed multiple voting, so some people may have...

Ben Cherington and the Boston Red Sox delegation returned from the GM Meetings this past week with much to consider. The GM meetings are seen by most as a time to begin feeling out other teams, consider trades and engage in discussions with agents. The Red Sox did a...

It’s that time again for a new poll. The Red Sox have been linked to quite a few free agents lately. Most notably, these names include Hiroki Kuroda, Nick Swisher, Russell Martin, Mike Napoli, Adam LaRoche, Anibal Sanchez and Torii Hunter. Out of these names,...
