By Andrew Lipsett With a month and a half of the season behind us, this team looks essentially like most people believed it would; a somewhat less potent offense, bolstered by a strong pitching staff and excellent defense. We’re about where we thought we’d...

Rotoworld.com: Red Sox acquired RHP Brad Baker from the Braves to complete the Franklin Nunez trade. Boston sent Nunez, another right-handed reliever, to Atlanta in spring training. Baker rejoins the organization that made him a 1999 first-round pick. He had a 2.40...

People are saying last night’s win was a gift, that we got lucky. The three errors by the Yankees opened the floodgates, and the Sox stormed through it. True. I won’t deny that. What I will say, however, is that this game would have been won by the Sox no...

Maybe it?s the Orioles pitching. Maybe it?s simply a three-game fluke. Regardless, our offense is beginning to kick into high gear and display the potential we?ve been dying for, posting extremely impressive wins over Baltimore this weekend. The final scores? 6-3, 9-3...

With one month of the season in the can, we can at least start to evaluate this club objectively. I want to start by examining the batting order, based on current production, and try to reconstruct it along what I’d view as optimal lines. Of course,...
