So Long, J.D. Drew! Good Riddance

By ⋅ December 11, 2011 ⋅ One comment

After what seemed like 25 years in a Red Sox uniform, J.D Drew will not be in the Red Sox line-up next season. No, he didn’t hurt himself not caring about anything. His five-year paid vacation is finally up. He had teased retirement ever since he signed that five-year deal and now that it’s time [...]

Red Sox Set to Sign Carlos Beltran?

By ⋅ November 8, 2011 ⋅ One comment

With J.D. Drew’s horrific contract and passionless play finally vacating right field at Fenway Park, newly appointed general manager Ben Cherington must decide who should man the territory near Pesky’s Pole for the 2012 season. Will Cherington give internal options Josh Reddick and/or Ryan Kalish a chance to prove themselves? Or will he look elsewhere [...]

Potential Solutions For Red Sox Right Field Woes

By ⋅ July 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Despite the large amount of success the Red Sox have had in 2011, the team is still dealing with many questions as the second half of the season looms large. From the injured starting rotation to the lack of production from Carl Crawford and the future of closer Jonathan Papelbon, the team has plenty to [...]

Red Sox Trade Rumors: Carlos Beltran, Matt Garza, Andre Ethier

By ⋅ July 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox have not been shy about making moves at the trade deadline and this year may be no different.  Despite a number of close races around baseball, some teams are preparing to be sellers as July 31st nears.  Carlos Beltran, Matt Garza and Andre Ethier are a few of the names that have [...]

Fielder HRs, NL Pitchers Shutdown AL to Win All-Star Game; Beckett Hurt

By ⋅ July 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Adrian Gonzalez may have out-homered Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder at the Home Run Derby, but Fielder’s home run mattered most Tuesday night at the 82nd All-Star Game at Chase Stadium in Phoenix. Fielder’s three-run home run off Texas’ C.J. Wilson in the fourth inning drove in the winning runs, and National League pitchers limited American League [...]

How Will the Red Sox Solve Their Outfield Woes?

By ⋅ June 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

According to the Boston Herald, Carl Crawford went on “six 90-foot jogs” Tuesday and is improving, but will still be sidelined for at least two more weeks, leaving a gaping hole in the outfield. After Crawford’s injury and the recent four-game losing-streak versus San Diego and Pittsburgh, the lack of depth and production out of [...]

Red Sox Interested in Carlos Beltran?

By ⋅ December 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After the acquisition of Adrian Gonzalez, the Red Sox now may be looking for an outfielder. When Jayson Werth reached a ridiculous deal with the Nationals, Carl Crawford’s price tag went through the roof, which could mean he’s too expensive for the Sox. Also, Crawford is a lefthander with limited power, so perhaps that may [...]

TGIF: 2009 BABIP Leaders and Losers

By ⋅ June 26, 2009 ⋅ One comment

One of my favorite tools for assessing players in fantasy baseball is Batting Average on Balls in Play (BABIP). A great piece done on BABIP can be found here. To those unfamiliar, here is a brief synopsis: “Simple logic states that once a ball is hit into play, there is nothing a hitter can do [...]

TGIF: 2009 OF Rankings

By ⋅ March 20, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Aaaahhhh finally, a position with some depth. It can be argued that you should address your shallower positions (2B, 3B, SS) in the first rounds and wait on the outfielders. This is actually a great way to draft. With more power than any other place on the diamond, the outfield has the luxury of hefty [...]

Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 11 (6-9 – 6-15)

By ⋅ June 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Interleague play has arrived. What does it mean for fantasy baseball? Well, it depends, of course. This time of the year gives batters the chance to face pitchers they have never seen and this creates favorable match-ups for both sides. New ballparks are traveled to and pitchers have to hit (although their batting stats won’t [...]
