With Mike Lowell’s recent injury concerns creeping back into the active conscious of Red Sox Nation, depth at the corners and in the middle of the lineup has suddenly been thrust to the forefront of the early pre-trade deadline chatter. Much of the Red Sox trade...

As Nick Green and Julio Lugo team up in an attempt to break the record for most errors out of shortstop (and we thought Edgar Renteria was bad), it’s time to start looking at outside options. Green has been a great fill-in with the bat after no one expected him...

New Poll Question: Who will end the year with greater offensive production? David Ortiz (currently -11.2 Runs Above Average) Julio Lugo (-1.9 Runs Above Average) George Kottaras (-3.1 Runs Above Average) We’ll be using Fan Graph’s Park Adjusted Batting...

If leaving 12 men on base isn’t any indication that David Ortiz needs to be moved down in the lineup, well then, what is? Ortiz went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts and the Boston Red Sox lost in the bottom of the 12th inning to the Los Angeles Angels on a Jeff...

While they haven’t shown the “stuff” that was expected of them this season thus far, the Red Sox do have rotational depth. With Daisuke Matsuzaka on his way back to the big club and Clay Buchholz and Michael Bowden in the minor leagues, decisions...

Javier Lopez could use a mulligan. Extra innings seemed inevitable. Kevin Youkilis snagged a ball to his right with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, flip to first base to the pitcher covering, inning over. Sounds routine enough. Right? Well it didn’t end...

Julio Lugo is back in our lives. Get used to it. Lugo, who flashed doubles power and was one of the better offensive shortstops in the game before inking a contract with the Red Sox is returning to try to recapture his former glory — glory that has been in short...

Julio Lugo began a rehab assignment Wednesday for the Pawtucket Red Sox and came away feeling better, physically, than his performance would indicate. Lugo, who batted leadoff and played shortstop, was 0-for-3 in three official at-bats and drew a walk in an...

I may have trust issues, so excuse my hesitance to put any real meaning into early individual numbers. But they are all we have up to this point… The team, and by team I mean the Boston Red Sox, is 7-6. Not great, not bad, slightly better than mediocre, etc....

New Poll Question: What to do with the Sox caught “Short” handed? With Jed Lowrie out until at least the All Star break and possibly longer, what should the Red Sox do at SS this season? – Nick Green all the way to October – It’s Julio...
