The Red Sox open a three-game series on the North Side of Chicago on Friday afternoon, and they'll do so with Scott Podsednik atop the lineup. The speedy 36-year-old has been terrific as an outfield stopgap for Boston since being recalled last month, and he really hasn't tailed off much after a quick start. Podsednik has five hits on the club's current road trip, after tallying multihit games in two of three against the Marlins. Podsednik could be poised for more success on Friday afternoon in the series opener at Wrigley Field. The journeyman outfielder has a ton of success...

After every series, we'll take stock of how each individual and group performance affects their overall value.
Lineup
Scott Podsednik: Podsednik had a tough game 2, but it was sandwiched by some great performances in games 1 and 3. He is responding very well in the lead-off spot.
Dustin Pedroia: Not great but better. 3-for-12 with an RBI is better than 3-for-13, so progress...

You’ll never guess who’s been the Sox 2nd best hitter so far.
David Ortiz is leading the Red Sox in just about every offensive category, he’s clearly been their MVP so far this season (crazy how we all thought he was washed up 4 years ago). But after him, it’s pretty ridiculous who’s got the next best numbers: Mike Aviles. Fairly ironic considering that heading into spring training probably the #1 concern for Sox fans was the lack...

Former phenom Prior tries comeback
There was a time -- one that feels like forever ago now -- when Mark Prior was thought to be the next big thing in baseball. At 22 years old and donning No. 22 for the Chicago Cubs, the former No. 2 overall pick was well on his way to becoming a bona-fide star.
In 2003, Prior's second season in the majors -- he made just nine minor league starts before making his MLB debut at...
