Today is a great day. The Red Sox won in nailbiting fashion to keep pace with the Rays in the Wild Card race last night; Oriole killer, Jon Lester, will toe the rubber in the most important game of the season; and I ousted Titanium399 as Mayor of the IRS National...

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...
