The Red Sox are going to need some relief help this season, so @KingsleyEllis has an novel idea: Bring Back Brad! boston.locals.baseballprospe…

With Blake Swihart seemingly on track to getting more playing time, @BACowett talks about what we should expect from a guy the Red Sox *totally* kept on the roster as a third catcher. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
An All-Star in 2015, Brock Holt has had his fair share of struggles over the last couple seasons. Now, as @KingsleyEllis notes, he's having one hell of a bounce-back campaign. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
After that slow, puzzling start to the season, Andrew Benintendi is crushing the baseball again, and @BACowett couldn't be happier to have him back. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
Mitch Moreland has been one of the American League's best first basemen thus far, and @DevJake believes his impressive run should make him a lock for the All-Star team. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
joke’s on Dan, show ponies are the best ponies of all the ponies xitter.cf/dan_shaughnessy/status…
Show Pony Red Sox are 39-17. Impossible to tell how good they are cuz of horrible level of competition. Let's see how they do with 'Stros, Tribe and Yanks in October. Until then, all this means nothing.

Wondering exactly who Adam Lind is? No? Well, take a seat, because @KingsleyEllis is going to tell you all about him anyway. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
roster moves, it’s a business, etc etc but the Sox telling Hanley to be the voice of the clubhouse and then hitting him with a DFA before Memorial Day is cold

Nearly two months in, and the Red Sox rotation has been excellent - apart from one Drew Pomeranz. @BACowett has a few concerns. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
Fenway's outfield is certainly unique, so how do Red Sox outfielders position themselves to cover it all? @KingsleyEllis has the answers. boston.locals.baseballprospe…

It's almost incredible to think that what J.D. Martinez is doing could be sustainable, but @CWClarke18 tells us that this hot start doesn't look very fluky. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
We all want the best for David Price, but @DevJake notes that he's been on the decline, and the looming opt-out will have major ramifications for both him and the Red Sox. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
The Red Sox bullpen needs reinforcements, that much is certain. But @KingsleyEllis would like to remind you that it's not a dumpster fire. At least, not yet. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
Shaughnessy is right. Price should stop playing video games. No Red Sox should be allowed to play video games. Or watch television. Or smile. Respect the game.

At 28 years old, we're in the prime years for Jackie Bradley Jr., and at this point, his hitting doesn't look like it's going to get much better. @KingsleyEllis says that's okay, because his glove still works. boston.locals.baseballprospe…

Since Joe Kelly's meltdown on Opening Day, he's been excellent, and @BACowett thinks it's mostly because he can finally get that final strike. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
It's pretty easy to get worked up about Chris Sale, especially after seeing how the Red Sox have fared in his games. But @KingsleyEllis offers an alternative to that: don't. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
In case you haven't heard, the Red Sox are back to hitting grand slams. Crazy, right? So @BACowett is here to show you each and every four-run homer from a historic April. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
tfw xander really gets a hold of one

There hasn't been anything really wrong with Andrew Benintendi so far, says @KingsleyEllis. Pitchers just aren't giving him anything to hit so far. boston.locals.baseballprospe…
