You guessed it — we’re picking the Red Sox to repeat as American League East Division Champions. Coming off a World Series, the Red Sox will look to repeat and make it three titles in five years (shades of the Patriots). The Red Sox have a strong team...

Spring Training always gives me writer’s block. After the season preview is written, you usually have the luxury of a trade to analyze, a new player to give an opinion and forecast of, or a position battle to take a side on. But with the 2008 Boston Red Sox, you...

Last week I started looking at the potential of the 2008 Boston Red Sox by comparing them to the 2007 World Series Champions. We began by looking at the infield of Youkilis, Pedroia, Lugo, and Lowell, it appears that we should expect alot of the same. There will be...

Some quick and dirty reactions to the PECOTA predictions of Red Sox players: For those who wanted Sean Casey over Chris Carter, Carter is projected to hit .259/.325/.394 with a -9 FRAA, while Casey is at .275/.330/.380, with a -2 FRAA. As Daniel Rathman revealed in...

On October 20th at Fenway Park under the bright lights, he found redemption. All year, he struggled to find a niche in his new home, with fans already against him being there. It was a long, taxing year for him personally as his son struggled through a malady of...

Mike Lowell is coming back and now the Boston Red Sox are virtually the same team they were last year. Sign my personal favorite player in Mike Timlin and I will be content. I was never content with the decisions made after the Red Sox won the World Series in...
