What are the factors that have, historically, determined how long into a season the Sox have stayed competitive or how deep of a playoff run they have the potential to enjoy? A partial list would include: starting rotation, bullpen strength, everyday offense, defense,...

Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo combined for seven RBI’s, J.D. Drew had one RBI, but a bad call took away a three-run homer from Drew, and Josh Beckett earned his 13th win of the season in the 10-3 defeat over the Chicago White Sox (43-52). A four run fifth inning was...

Josh Beckett (12-3) pitched well enough to earn his 13th win throwing for 8 innings, giving up seven hits, two runs, two walks, and eight strikeouts, but it was not enough as the Boston Red Sox (55-36) only pushed across one lone run as Blue Jays rookie starter Jesse...

One of the biggest question marks facing the Red Sox as we open the second half is the depth of our starting pitching staff. Josh Beckett has been, for the most part, a rock, though according to Baseball Prospectus

Recently, friends and I were wondering if there was a possible way to quantify in terms of dollars exactly how big of a bust Julio Lugo has been. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to work out statistical systems to compare player’s contributions to...

If Alex Rodriguez decides to miss the All-Star game, it is safe to say that Mike Lowell will fill in just fine. Lowell went 5-6 and knocked in five runs in the Boston Red Sox (53-31) defeat of the Tampay Bay Devils Rays (33-51). Josh Beckett earned his 12 victory in...
