Now be honest here, everyone: are you going to be watching Texas @ Houston or Game of Thrones on Opening Night? I wouldn’t think less of you either way. After a fantastic March, Jackie Bradley may actually be getting his first taste of the big leagues much...

Writing different introductions to several prospect pieces every week is hard. For that reason, I present to you without drama my list of AL East prospects who are best positioned to impact the pennant race this year. I’ve broken this down to the three players who...

In just one week, your Red Sox will take the field for their first game of 2013. Kick back, grab a bottle of your favorite brew, and prepare to enjoy the sweetness that is Boston baseball. What kind of links post would this be if Jackie Bradley wasn’t the first...

Just under two weeks until the beginning of the season. We’ll have to struggle through a Texas-Houston match-up on Opening Night, but after that, the fun begins. Sure, perfect innings don’t mean much in Spring Training. But when Jon Lester is tearing...

There is no shortage of opinions when it comes to patrons of The Internet and the Red Sox farm system. Boston’s minor league talent has become a focal point for fans at a time when our prospects are good and our major league team more challenged on paper than it has...

Can we turn off the Mike Napoli Worry Machine now? He’s crushing the ball, to the tune of two homers in only six at-bats. Impressive, no? The 2013 Boston Red Sox – a projection puzzle, to say the least. No one really knows how good they’ll be. So,...

You know the feeling, it’s just some unsuspecting Tuesday when you get the card in the mail. It’s a “Save the Date” for an upcoming wedding. You go to the calendar and cross out a Saturday, knowing all too well that one is shot. (No, that’s not how I felt about...
