A pitcher could drill first baseman Lars Anderson in the ribs with a fastball. A base runner could spike him when he tags the bag. A clubhouse manager could grind his bats into sawdust. But nothing aggravates the 23-year-old Anderson more than mentioning all the hype...

I’ve got a new man crush and his name is Ryan Kalish. With the Sox 5.5 games out of first, there is still hope for a postseason in Boston despite a season filled with injuries and frustration. One of the reasons the Sox continue to stay within striking distance...

The calendar is closing in on July 31, 2010 and most are discussing who could the Red Sox acquire to help the team close the gap in the A.L. East. But few talk about the prospects that could be moved until a year or two or twenty years from now. Hopefully, the Olde...

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...

by Troy Patterson | Jan 8, 2010 | Casey Kotchman, Lars Anderson
I think Casey Kotchman should be a warning to any long term success we might expect from Lars Anderson. This is also just a discussion of their offense as Kotchman has a much better glove. Kotchman was a much higher draft pick going in the first round of the 2001...

In our versions of an offseason blueprint the Red Sox could follow (1, 2, 3) one topic that came up fairly often was how realistic or unrealistic our proposed trade packages were for certain players. Let’s recap: Mike Lowell, Casey Kotchman, Clay Buchholz and...

Drafted in the 18th round in 2006, Lars Anderson burst on the scene after a strong 2007. In 2008, Anderson did nothing to dispel his skyrocketing value, closing the year out with a .316/.436/.526 line in Double-A Portland in 41 games. This year, Anderson has returned...

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...
