I’ve spent a lot of time in recent weeks tearing down some Red Sox prospects and starters in order to try and give some perspective on deep and comparatively weak areas within Boston’s organization. I know I’ve put myself at risk at becoming somewhat...

December 20, 2005, to me, a date that will live in infamy. I still remember all of the details. I can see the desk, the new flat screen monitor, and my internet browser opening to my familiar homepage, ESPN.com. Most of all I remember the image that was looking back...

Close your eyes and imagine the perfect baseball prospect, a player with very few holes in his game. Some of you might have pictured Mike Trout, or Byron Buxton. I’m a Red Sox homer so I immediately thought of Xander Bogaerts. Most prospects, though, have flaws or...

Red Sox GM Ben Cherington entered the 2012-2013 offseason with an open mind and an open checkbook. After a disastrous 2012 campaign that resulted in 69 wins and the salary dump to end all salary dumps, Cherington finally got the keys to the car to spend the money...

Xander Bogaerts has been the focal point of the majority of articles, analyses and conversations about Red Sox prospects for the past four months. You don’t have to watch Bogaerts for very long to see that such attention is certainly warranted, and it’s been fun to...

Nothing particularly cool to talk about this week, guys – so here’s the stuff that I’m thinking about right now. Dustin Pedroia isn’t hitting. I don’t know if his thumb injury acting up again, but the bottom line is that since July 1st, Dustin...
