Over the past few weeks, I’ve tried to put on my objective hat and find ways to improve the Red Sox. I argued in favor of signing Brian McCann. I’ve argued against trading for Giancarlo Stanton. I argued that we needed one of Mike Napoli, Carlos Beltran or...

Daniel Nava’s entire career has been marked by people underestimating just how good he could potentially be. It’s a winding journey from being incredibly underrated for years, overrated for one shining moment, and then right back to the familiarity of being...

Kevin Youkilis left last night’s game in the 4th inning with an ankle injury. At the moment, it appears he’ll be fine — the word out of Fenway is that he’ll be in the lineup tonight. Still, the sight of Youk leaving the game yesterday must have...

Injuries Mounting With mounting injuries again threatening to send the Red Sox into an extended nosedive, the team will again attempt to dance between the raindrops as it awaits the return of its fallen comrades. -Jeremy Hermida succumbing to rib fractures in much the...

Red Sox offense is in good shape. The local nine is second in runs scored and OPS. The lineup has been legit even with Jeremy Hermida (649 OPS) and Darnell McDonald (746 OPS) getting 246 of the 1920 Red Sox at-bats or 12.8%. The other seven regulars are collectively...

As the baseball season enters the second month, what is the lasting impression from the Red Sox start? The mighty struggles David Ortiz, and his decreased role as of late? Starting the month with two center-fielders in the outfield and finishing it with two...

What Needs to Happen: JD Drew The bad starts just keep piling up… and keep continuing, causing some real problems in the lineup and some real frustration for the millions of Fenway Faithful. J.D. Drew’s poor April just keeps on coming, which has only added to the...

It’s been a rough couple of weeks, folks. We’ve all heard it, we’ve all said it, we’ve all felt it. There’s been enough negative energy in this town lately to give Vigo from Ghostbusters II a sugar high. However, if you sat there tonight...

R&R in KC After winning the home opener, the Sox looked quite sluggish in their encore performances against the Yanks. What they needed was a little R&R against a weak out-of-division opponent — and the KC Royals came to the rescue. Though the pitching...

Every spring, we get the March stars who try to earn a roster spot, but hopefully we all know by now that a month or so of at bats is not enough to tell anything. Half the time, players are facing minor leaguers and the rest are players working on their approach. Any...
