To be honest, the offseason frustrates me more than the regular season does. At least in the regular season, the team can right some wrongs just by winning a game the next day and everyone will be happy and content. Beers all around. Now, however, no one will be fine...

With the 2013 Rule 4 draft finally in the books, I thought it’d be fun to take a look back at all of the drafts that have occurred during the John Henry ownership era. In this piece, we’ll review their successes, their failures, the trends they’ve...

According to Jim Bowden of ESPN and other reports, the Red Sox have acquired Joel Hanrahan and another player from the Pittsburgh Pirates for Mark Melancon, Jerry Sands, Stolmy Pimentel and another player. The former Pirates closer had 36 saves in 2012 and 40 saves in...

<a title="" When Theo Epstein assumed the role of Red Sox General Manager prior to the 2003 season, one of his missions was to build a “$100M player development machine.” While his goal was certainly ambitious, he faced two big obstacles: a...

Having lost the series against the Rays on a tough loss on Sunday, the Boston Red Sox (23-24) welcome the Detroit Tigers (23-24) to Fenway Park for a four-game series. Detroit hasn’t had the start that most expected them to have this season, but the talent is...

With all of the talk about the gaping holes at the back of the Red Sox rotation, it seems that people have forgotten about the serious questions that exist in their bullpen. Last season, Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon were a frightening tandem for teams to see at...

While I have tried to maintain my positivity it has become increasingly hard. There have been injuries and poor outings that surely no one could have predicted or dealt with, but the injuries to the staff and poor performance that can find blame. The Red Sox entered...

Usually when a player is the only individual to ever don a certain number for an organization, they are fairly important. Perhaps their number has been retired to cement their achievements and legacy to a team. Or maybe their number is an obscure one, high in the...

As the Red Sox have fallen into a deeper slump than most of us ever imagined possible, the “Chicken Little” mentality that was once prevalent throughout Red Sox Nation has slowly transformed into the “Mob” mentality. Yes, that’s right folks. People throughout New...

David Ortiz wants it to happen. Should you? The lead in the Wild Card standings is down to two games and the starting rotation continues to be the Red Sox biggest weakness. While I appreciate the effort from guys like Tim Wakefield and Kyle Weiland, they’re not...
