    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, August 21, 2017 * The Boston Globe The pick here is Andrew Benintendi over Aaron Judge Dan Shaughnessy Aaron Judge vs. Andrew Benintendi. Forget 2017 American League Rookie of the Year. I’m asking . which guy would you rather have on your team for the next 15 seasons? We love these Yankee-Red Sox mano-a-manos. It’s as old as the rivalry itself. Joe DiMagggio came to the bigs in 1936. Ted Williams burst on the scene three years later. Throughout the 1940s, it was a raging argument. We were even led to believe that the respective owners of the Sox and Yankees once made a late-night swap while in a drunken haze. The alleged trade was called off by dawn’s early light. Remember when the Sox had Carlton Fisk and the Yanks had Thurman Munson? New York’s grumpy catcher was a league MVP before his career was tragically cut short when he crashed his plane in 1979. Fisk went on to become a Hall of Famer. Don Mattingly and Wade Boggs were rivals of sorts in the 1980s and who can forget those early years of this new century when Nomar Garciaparra vs. Derek Jeter was a real debate. Now we have Judge and Benintendi. Big Poison and Little Poison. It’s 6 feet 7 inches and 282 pounds vs. 5-10 and 170. It’s not about Rookie of the Year anymore. Even though he is playing as badly as anyone can play at the moment, Judge pretty much retired the rookie trophy with his ridiculous first half.

He has to deliver a championship for the Yankees like Reggie Jackson did when he was the highest-paid Yankee. The pressure is on him. I expect he'll carry us to a World Series championship, or at least the pennant. He better do it just like Gary Carter did after he got his big contract.''2 Mattingly never did deliver a World Series championship, and Anderson did not hear any more salary arbitration cases after finishing 1987 with the Butler and Gross decisions.

  • EXTRA INNINGS a Life Lesson from Bill Buckner
    EXTRA INNINGS A Life Lesson from Bill Buckner He had more base hits than Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Duke Snider, Don Mattingly, and other great hitters. Amassing 2,715 base hits in his career, he was ranked at #66 all-time (out of about 20,000). In 1980, while playing for the Chicago Cubs, he was the National League batting champion. He never struck out more than 39 times in a season, or more than two times in a game—both records. This 1981 All-Star was also a speedy runner, leading the league in doubles—twice—and was among leaders in stolen bases. In his 22 seasons, he had 1,208 RBIs, 174 home runs and 183 stolen bases. Most players would love to have that kind of career. But when Bill Buckner died in 2019 after battling Lewy Body dementia, the evening news and sports pages would focus on one error that he committed over 50 years ago. This story takes place when he was playing first base for the Boston Red Sox. October 25, 1986. Boston vs. the New York Mets in New York, the sixth game of the World Series. The Red Sox had a 3-2 series lead. Bottom of the 10th inning, Boston leading 5-3, one out away from being World Champions. Mets score two runs to tie the game, putting the go-ahead run on second. The Mets’ Mookie Wilson hit a roller to Buckner at first base that bounced off his glove, through his legs into the outfield, scoring the winning run.
