The Red Sox surprised exactly no one when they optioned Allen Webster to the minor leagues before last Monday’s game. Put simply, Webster has been a mixed bag this spring, allowing seven runs and seven walks in 12 innings pitched, while occasionally flashing his...

While it might not seem like they’ve been playing for long, Wednesday marks the first day since February 27th that the Red Sox won’t play a game. Yes, baseball is back. Every day there seems to be a new storyline involving Grady Sizemore. Tuesday was no...

With about 20 days until the regular season starts, John Farrell has set his rotation in place that will likely be through until at least the All-Star break. Jon Lester will got the nod on Monday and will be followed by John Lackey, Felix Doubront, Jake Peavy and then...

Shane Victorino made his spring training debut Monday. Predictably, he ended his first at-bat with a hit by pitch. Some things never change. Not only did Monday mark Jon Lester’s first start of the spring, but it also marked the first in-game action between...

It was a busy weekend down on Fort Myers. After handily beating those pesky college kids, the Red Sox played their first two exhibition game of the spring against the Twins and the Orioles. NESN aired their first game of the spring. Oh, and Mike Napoli hit a home run...

Something of note: there will be a ton of Spring Training games broadcasted this year, and not just by ESPN. Looks to me like baseball is on the rise again. He says he’ll give a hometown discount, but what does Jon Lester mean by that? Just a few million off per...

Two weeks ago, I started out a new series taking a look at the projections for the Red Sox going into 2014 by taking a look at the most notable position players on the roster. Well, we’re doing more of the same this week, as it’s time to take a look at the starting...

Four years and some odd number of games ago, a Red Sox second baseman by the name of Eric Patterson prowled his position. Yeah, that was 2010. Ryan Dempster might’ve been feeling his age all of a sudden. The 36-year-old hurler decided to step back and forego...

Around this time ever year, we hit that tipping point where most of the offseason’s notable moves have already occurred. Sure, there are some free agents left to sort out (I.E. Stephen Drew, Nelson Cruz, Ubaldo Jimenez, etc.), but for the most part, the bigger pieces...

All it took was a little international signing action and the free agent dominoes start falling again. Who says the Hot Stove isn’t sizzling in January? After last season, most would say Jon Lester deserves an extension. Even he plans to play in Boston until...
