Will Middlebrooks Practicing As Shortstop In Case of Emergency, Mike Aviles Could Play Second Base
BOSTON –– The Red Sox have flexibility in the infield after all. On the heels of second baseman Dustin Pedroia's thumb injury, the team had Will Middlebrooks take grounders as a shortstop on Wednesday. But Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine has a method for his madness by trying his rookie third baseman in a new spot. "[Middlebrooks] was a good high school shortstop, so...

Will Middlebrooks' Absence Looming Large During Lackluster Red Sox Performance
Where's Will Middlebrooks? NESN Nation's Dan Duquette is drawing the line between what he's seeing on the field and what he's not, and a certain young third baseman for the Red Sox isn't there. That might not be the entire reason why the Red Sox look not-so-great on Friday night, but it might be one of them. Check out the above video for more. Join NESN Nation...

Middlebrooks, Ortiz lead offensive charge as Sox beat O's 8-6
The kid strikes again!
Will Middlebrooks goes 3 for 5 including an RBI single in the seventh which would be the winning run as the Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles, 8-6.
It was an all around great effort from the offense, as everyone in the batting order got a hit and almost everyone scored a run (Salty was the only one who failed to cross home plate.) and some came in some...

Jacoby Ellsbury's Return, Will Middlebrooks' Spark Among Reasons to Believe Red Sox Can Win World Series (Photos)
The Red Sox have won three in a row. But even that winning streak brings Boston's record to just 15-19, meaning the Sox' backs are still up against the wall. However, there's still plenty of reasons to believe the Red Sox can still make a World Series run in 2012. Things haven't exactly been pretty for the hometown team thus far, and there's still some things...

Will Middlebrooks: Hamstring “Nothing Serious”
I know I’m not the only one to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing what Will Middlebrooks said about his hamrstring, “It’s nothing serious. It’s not a big deal, it was just a precautionary thing coming out of the game, so hopefully I’ll be back in there Wednesday.

Your Morning Dump...where all eyes are on Middlebrooks
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
In the last two days, Middlebrooks has three homers and nine RBI. He's hit safely in each of the first four games he's played in the majors and has at least one extra-base hit in all four, something...
