The final batch of predictions are below, dealing with how first/third base will shake out and how the bullpen will be handled… Assuming no Adrian Beltre or Victor Martinez, how is first and/or third going to work out? Evan: If the Red Sox are faced with no...

Over at my site, fantasybaseball365.com, I do an annual set of projections for the upcoming season. While every team is covered over there, here is where I’ll be focusing on the Red Sox player projections. These projections are done by hand, meaning I have no...

Yesterday, Alex Rodriguez hit his 600th career home run. While fanfare was mixed — most non-Yankee fans could care less — the one thing that jumped to my mind was how rough of a season A-Rod is actually having and how hard it was for him to finally reach...

For a brief shining moment there, it seemed like these Red Sox were poised for a legendary season. Beset by injuries, hampered by a slow and painful start, facing an uphill battle against two tough divisional foes, the Sox rode unlikely bats, some exceptional pitching...

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...

With the 2010 Amateur Draft just around the corner (Monday June 7 through Wednesday, June 9), I wanted to spend this week’s column looking back at the previous best and worst picks of the Theo Epstein era, an era in which the strength of the minor league system...

Everybody knows about “The Laser Show.” Dustin Pedroia is the working man of working men on the Sox roster (next to Kevin Youkilis, of course) and the straw that stirs the proverbial cocktail. Pedroia seems more like a whiskey type of guy to me, not that...

These past two nights, we’ve gotten a glimpse of what this team could look like with things going right. Strong pitching performances by Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester, backed by an offense that at worst grinds down opposing pitchers and at best can be explosive,...

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...
