February 05, 2008 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
Today marks the first day of September, and that means the rosters expand. The Sox have been plagued with injuries, so this couldn't have came at a better time. As of this point they have brought up 5 players, but expect more after Pawtucket's season raps up. So far, Clay Buchholz...

Just a quick note. Today is the NESN/WEEI Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon. It is a great cause and anyone that can make a donation should. The number to call is 877-738-1234. Otherwise, you can go to jimmyfund.org and check things out. The goal for the day is $3 M and I think they will get it.

The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
Just a quick note here, Oscar Tejeda was recently promoted to Single A Lowell. If you don't know much about him, i did a write up on him here. Since being promoted, Tejeda has hit .389/.405/.500 in 36 ABs. His rates aren't all that good, but i'm not going to write about...
Draft Review: Brock Huntzinger
January 28, 2008 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
Brock Huntzinger is the bright young star from Pendleton, Indiana. He slipped to the 3rd round, but many believed he could have gone higher. He had intended to pitch for Indiana University next year, before signing with the Sox. The coach of IU thought very highly of Brock saying ...
Pedroia
January 25, 2008 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
As much as i hate to say it, I was completely wrong about Dustin Pedroia. I was completely convinced that he would be a lackluster major leaguer, but I am flip-flopping. His numbers have been great this year and his defense has been a great surprised. From everything i heard, Pedroia...

Hansen Sighting
January 25, 2008 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
I think it is about time for a Craig Hansen update. The 2005 first rounder was a promising reliever when first draft. He was rushed to the majors and was less than successful. To get Hansen back on track, the Red Sox have kept him in the minors all season. It started off very rough...
Consistently Average
January 25, 2008 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
When you describe people, it is very infrequent for "average" to be a compliment. In terms of baseball, it is very much so. It is extreme difficult to find someone that can give you consistently average performances, year after year. Thankfully for the Red Sox, we have someone...

RSO's Sox Prospect List
September 25, 2007 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
The season is over for minor leaguers, so it is about time to make my rankings. I will do this again after the major league season is over, but I'm too tense right now. I need something to get my mind off the last week of the regular season.
Winter League

The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
Just a quick hit here. The rosters for Winter league have came out and the Sox have 6 players participating. Those players are Ryan Kalish, Daniel Bard, Jason Place, Brandon Moss, Jimmy James, and Argenis Diaz. Kalish and Moss are the big names their. Kalish is a 19 year old kid that...

It was pretty successful last time, so why not do it again. Here is a look at both the Starters for the Jays and the Sox and who they struggle against.
Sizing up the O's

The Red Sox Outsider
| 1 comment
The up coming series against the O's may end up being an important series. With this Yankee series looking all but over, it is going to be important that the Sox at least win this weekend set. It appears the Wakefield, Tavarez, and Lester will be the starters for the series. Here...
A Man Alone

The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
I must be insane. My relationship with J.D. Drew is very abusive one. I know i should leave, but I'm scared about my life after him. It was love at first sight when i say the Red Sox signed him. It was like i was living on cloud nine. "Wow, Drew!," i said, "he is...
More Promotions
August 29, 2007 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
I wrote earlier that Tejeda was promoted to Lowell, now he is joined by some of his old teammates. Both Ryan Dent and Che-Hsuan Lin were promoted to Lowell from the Gulf Coast League. There is only a handful of games left, so this move is extremely minor in terms of this year. That...
Roster Expansion
August 27, 2007 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
As far as I know, on September 1st major league teams are allowed to expand their roster by 15 players. That means, potentially, all players on the 40 man roster can be called up. I believe as aprerequisite, you must be on the 40 man roster prior to the first. So lets look at who is...
Draft Review: Drake Britton
August 26, 2007 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
This might end up being the steal of the draft for the Red Sox. Drake Britton was the 714th pick in this year draft, right out of Tombal (TX) High School. This young left-hander built up quite a reputation pitching in the heart of Texas.
EqA Rates

The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
I looked at RARP the other day, so i figured why not keep with the SABR theme and look at EqA for the Red Sox. For those how don't know what EqA is take a look here. Basically it stands for Equivalent Average and it measures offensive production per out.

The unheralded Austin Bailey is reviewed. He is a bright young kid out of High School. See what to expect from him going forward.

Well, I apparently missed a lot this weekend. So here are my takes on the major goings on.
Going out of town
August 15, 2007 by
The Red Sox Outsider
| Comments
Nothing to do with the Sox, just a message. I'm going to Canada for next next couple days, so i thought it might be a perfect chance to bring someone aboard as a guest writer. If this person succeeds, I'll keep him on the roster going forward. So for the half dozen people that...
