Those of you whom have been reading my work for the past 15 months know that one of my favorite things to do is to expose and correct common false perceptions. It’s not so much that I like proving people wrong. (Although, I do.) It’s more so that I...

Most days, I really love to roll up my sleeves, do some research, and provide some deep, thoughtful analysis on the Red Sox. Today, is not one of those days. Instead, I’m feeling a bit snarky…a little saucy or sassy even. That’s what made the...

Well, it appears Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe is at it again. Never one to go too long without complaining, he’s directing his ire toward Red Sox leadership because of their apparent disinterest in hiring an experienced manager to lead the team. While...

The World Series is over and the hot stove season is underway. Now we get to fantasize about what big-name players could be coming to Boston in 2012. I’m excluding Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder right off the bat, since, well, there’s this Adrian...

As much fun as it’s been dissecting every rumor, and providing rational responses to every over-the-top editorial written for the past two months; I’ve decided it’s time to stop living in the past and look toward planning for the future. The 2011...

On WEEI’s “Dennis and Callahan Show” this morning, Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein revealed that RF J.D. Drew has an avulsion fracture of his right middle finger. Drew sustained the injury while on a rehab assignment. Peter Gammons is reporting...

It’s been a long season, battling back-and-forth with the Yankees for sole possession of first place, dealing with a banged-up rotation and looking to fill needs through trades and the farm system. Injuries to Jed Lowrie and Josh Reddick have forced some...
by chipbuck | Aug 31, 2011 | Boston Red Sox, J.D. Drew, Jed Lowrie, Josh Reddick
Do you remember when everyone was gushing about Jed Lowrie‘s emergence as a legitimate major league star back in April? Of course you do. Although those proclamations were foolishly optimistic, it was tough not to be impressed. After producing a remarkable...

After taking a look at all four of the 2011 first round picks signed by the Red Sox, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the current roster and see where everyone came from. You’ll notice a bit of home-grown talent as well as some former first...
