Five notes I wanted to talk about today. Three are relatively short, two are a bit more meaty. The short ones: Congratulations to Dustin Pedroia being named the AL Rookie of the Month for May! He hit an astounding .415/.472/.600 in May. What has he done in June? Um...

Since May is about to conclude, the aura around this years team is in its early developmental stages. While some players are overachieving and some underachieving, the fans are getting a sense of what this team can do as a whole. Last week, I attempted against my best...

Good news for the Red Sox on their two missing starters. Both pitchers took big steps this week in their goals of becoming major league ready. They’re both likely to be back in the Red Sox rotation by mid-June which should provide a boost to the Red Sox pitching...

First of all, if you’d like to swear a blue streak (I know I would) about losing two out of three to the rejuvenated Yankees, check out Shawn’s latest recap… Eric Hinske may not be off to a great start offensively, but he’s certainly caught the...

Last year was Theo Epstein’s most criticized as general manager of the Boston Red Sox. He made a multitude of unpopular moves in which he dealt players such as Hanley Ramirez, Andy Marte, Bronson Arroyo, Anibel Sanchez, Josh Bard, Cla Meredith and David Riske....
