I had a really grand article planned for today, but due to the craziness that is my life, I wasn’t able to get it together in time. Since it was going to be on the upcoming Yankee-Red Sox series, it’s not something that I will be able to run next week. I...

It’s been well documented, David Ortiz doesn’t hit left-handed pitching very well anymore. Though Terry Francona may feel like sitting Papi against lefties would ruin his timing, rhythm, whatever, the reality is that a platoon situation would probably...

.271/.340/.452, 20 HR, 43 SB, 94 R and 82 RBI in 641 PA’s That’s an all-star. That’s a fantasy beast. That’s the 2011 projection for Ryan Kalish published by Bill James. Look, I’m a big Ryan Kalish fan (and a huge Bill James fan), but...

The Red Sox have accumulated so much talent this offseason that they have a problem. OK, so it’s a good, nay, GREAT problem to have. How does Terry Francona fill out his opening day lineup card and keep things balanced? The Sox have five left-handed hitting...

Mike Cameron was once considered the best defensive centerfielder in baseball. But today, he is a somewhat forgotten man in Boston. After hitting the shelf in 2010 with multiple abdomen and kidney stone issues, any visions of a defensive whiz roaming center field at...

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...

Although my time at NESN was far, far shorter than I hoped/expected, I’ve moved on to the next phase of my career which takes me to the MLB Facts and Rumors blog at CBS Sports. I’ll be writing alongside long-time Mariners reporter David Andriesen...

Red Sox offense is in good shape. The local nine is second in runs scored and OPS. The lineup has been legit even with Jeremy Hermida (649 OPS) and Darnell McDonald (746 OPS) getting 246 of the 1920 Red Sox at-bats or 12.8%. The other seven regulars are collectively...

Outfielder Mike Cameron admittedly isn’t 100 percent. After playing his second rehabilitation game for Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday against Gwinnett, it’s the closest he’s been to returning to Boston since he was placed on the disabled list April 19 with a lower...
