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...

Last night’s 6-0 victory over the Angels didn’t gain the Sox any games in the standings. With the Yankees and Rays both victorious, Boston still sits five and a half games behind the AL East’s co-leaders. You’d be forgiven, though, if you felt...

For a brief shining moment there, it seemed like these Red Sox were poised for a legendary season. Beset by injuries, hampered by a slow and painful start, facing an uphill battle against two tough divisional foes, the Sox rode unlikely bats, some exceptional pitching...

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...

Outfielder Ryan Kalish fell so far below the proverbial Mendoza Line shortly after he was promoted to Portland last season that he was virtually invisible. Kalish began the season at high-A Salem and literally hit his way into a promotion to the Sea Dogs. In 32 games...

With the conclusion of every major league season comes the beginning of the second season of “minor” leagues in baseball – the Winter Leagues. This 2009 off-season, the Sox have placed 17 promising prospects across four leagues, including some of the most exciting...

22 years old, Josh Reddick made his major league debut earlier this season when trades and injuries took out first base and outfield depth. Reddick stuck around and impressed many before being optioned down to Triple-A. With Rocco Baldelli hitting the disabled list,...

David Ortiz – Samara Pearlstein Sit down with a big cup of coffee, because have I a treat for you. I participated in a chat on Tuesday night and they have made the transcript available for Fire Brand to peruse. Enjoy… Do you think that the Red Sox will be...

The Red Sox are positioning themselves to be the favorite in the American League once again. The Sox have been led by a promising rotation that posted a 1.69 ERA in 10 starts up until Wednesday (36 hits in 69+ innings), a lineup beginning to hit its stride led by the...
