I have been stoked about this one for a full week now. Last week, my predecessor on this beat (twitter handle chip_buck) went on a tweeted rant about this mailbag, and it lives up to its head scratch worthiness. In full editorial honesty, I remain unsure if the joke...

Finally got my hands on one of those new Spring Training caps for the Red Sox. Not too bad, even with the new material they used for them. Not all that stretchy, just a little less stiff. For the first time in what seems like forever, you can’t blame the...

With the Red Sox minor league camp opening soon, I thought I would give my list of the top ten Red Sox prospects. The top four are probably the consensus picks of most prospect writers, while the rest get more subjective as you move further away from the upper minors....

Sure feels good to have impact prospects in the Boston’s system again. I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for the next generation of Sox. A strong spring, combined with shallow outfield depth, may just give Jackie Bradley Jr. his first cup of...

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Except for the Alfredo Aceves blip, the Red Sox have had a pretty uneventful spring training so far. There seems to be harmony in the clubhouse with John Farrell at the head of things. The players seem to be happy and good natured. All we have to...

I’m ready for baseball. Let’s be honest, basketball is my first sports love. For the past few years, the Celtics have captured my attention more than any of my other teams. I know those guys. I’ve watched them since the Big Three came together in 2008. I’ve watched...

(Key – Bold w/italic is Nick Cafordo’s opening, Bold is the quesiton asked, italic is Cafardo’s answer, unaltered text is my writing). FORT MYERS, Fla. – The low expectations for the Red Sox continue to ooze out in this week’s mailbag. There are lots...

The season of prospect rankings is upon us. For minor league enthusiasts, wannabe prospect experts and the truly invested, this is our Christmas. For more casual MiLB fans or those looking for a quick refresher on their favorite team’s farm system, it’s a great time...

You don’t have to be a Red Sox fan to have your heart go out to Ryan Kalish. After an exciting 2010 debut in which he showcased his potential, his flaws and his energy all at once, many assumed Kalish would start 2011 as the team’s left fielder. Then came the Carl...
