I LOVE THE SMELL OF CONTROVERSY IN THE MORNING! Don’t you? According to Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal, it appears there may be one brewing at the shortstop position. “When he met with reporters Wednesday afternoon, Terry Francona wouldn’t admit to...

When I started writing about baseball, it was through fantasy baseball. My site is indeed aptly named Fantasy Baseball 365. So, I would be remiss not to write something related to fantasy baseball and the Red Sox. Lucky for the Sox, there are plenty of players to...

Despite rumors that Marco Scutaro was on the trading block this offseason, he was recently endorsed as the Red Sox starter at shortstop. While the 35-year-old Scutaro did a fine job in his first season with the Sox, 27-year-old Jed Lowrie came on strong late in 2010...
