The last few days have been pretty busy here in Red Sox Nation. Ben Cherington and his front office compatriots are slowly but surely shaping the roster into a club that should be able to win 90-95 games in 2012. In order to stay on top of all of the recent...

As Charlie mentioned in his column yesterday, the Marco Scutaro trade provided the Red Sox with $6M in salary relief. While it might seem strange to many of us that a high-revenue club with a payroll consistently hovering around the luxury tax threshold could need...

It sounds weird to say that the Sox have made a move in order to clear salary, but that’s essentially what they did on Saturday when they sent their former starting shortstop, Marco Scutaro, to the Colorado Rockies for 26-year-old righthander Clayton Mortensen....

Most days, I really love to roll up my sleeves, do some research, and provide some deep, thoughtful analysis on the Red Sox. Today, is not one of those days. Instead, I’m feeling a bit snarky…a little saucy or sassy even. That’s what made the...

If you read my link around yesterday, you probably saw Matt Kory’s piece for Over the Monster on the effect the luxury tax is having on the Red Sox offseason. In case you missed it, here’s an excerpt: “With several holes still to fill on the roster,...

In April 2011, the Legend of Jed Lowrie was born. In what became a popular Twitter meme where unicorns drink the blood of Lowrie, fans across the globe submitted their commentary into a repository that was mentioned repeatedly by blogs, radio shows and newspapers....

The World Series is over and the hot stove season is underway. Now we get to fantasize about what big-name players could be coming to Boston in 2012. I’m excluding Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder right off the bat, since, well, there’s this Adrian...

Trying to find negative story-lines within the Red Sox’ horrific September was about as easy as trying to find trees in the forest. However, trying to find a negative story about Marco Scutaro, in the context of a forest, was like searching for big foot. Scutaro...

After taking a look at all four of the 2011 first round picks signed by the Red Sox, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the current roster and see where everyone came from. You’ll notice a bit of home-grown talent as well as some former first...
