The Red Sox signed Julio Lugo prior to the 2007 season mostly out of necessity. Sure, Theo Epstein long favored Lugo at an eventual replacement at shortstop when he hit free agency following decent years in a Rays uniform, and since the complete black hole of a bat...

When Julio Lugo went down, it was almost as if an audible sigh of relief was heard across New England. No one, well most people at least, wouldn’t wish an injury on someone. But this was one that people weren’t broken-hearted over. Add to that the .310...

With the halfway point (just after, really — it’s been 90 games) it’s time to break out the midseason Red Sox awards! Only players currently with the Red Sox are eligible. Players could only win or be the runner up once. Once their name comes up,...

Ever since Boston traded Nomar Garciaparra to the Chicago Cubs on July 31, 2004, shortstop has been like a revolving door. Or have you forgotten Orlando Cabrera, Edgar Renteria and Alex Gonzalez, who preceded current shortstop Julio Lugo? Pawtucket’s Jed Lowrie...

May saw the Red Sox go 17-12 and a concerning trend arise: road struggles. Three straight wins in Baltimore seem to be the cure, but can the Red Sox keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays are one behind the Chicago Cubs for the best MLB record, and a crucial three...

Quickly updating a busy day for roster moves; Alex Cora was activated from the DL and will start for a still woozy Julio Lugo at SS tonight.

Kevin Youkilis hit his eighth homerun of the season while Coco Crisp and Jed Lowrie hit back-to-back jacks and Mike Lowell finished the Twins off with another solo homerun as Boston went on to win 5-2. Daisuke Matsuzaka hurled seven innings with six strikeouts to his...

I tried. Honest, I did. I tried to like him. I advocated signing him last year. He was the best option at the time. Now it could be argued he’s the worst shortstop in the major leagues. Last week, I asked my friend for ideas for topics on the Sox to write about....

Another season, another Month to Month! The Red Sox got off to a pretty good start. There’s been a ton of storylines so far this month, but for the most part, the team has come hot out of the gates, proving that perhaps they weren’t overrated after all....
