Brace yourselves: the Red Sox might be exploring the possibility of a trade for catcher Victor Martinez. As usual, the names mentioned in connection with that trade are Clay Buchholz, Daniel Bard and Lars Anderson. Meanwhile, Larry Lucchino hints that Buchholz (and Bowden) will get the call up this season. Jacoby Ellsbury’s hitting streak continues, now at 13 games. Maybe we need to take a page from the Rays’ playbook, and “accidentally” mess up the lineup cards so that our pitchers bat. On Sunday, several of the pitchers took BP - Josh Beckett knocked out two homers, Brad Penny hit one as well, and Jon Lester went nuts with three homers. At least we’ll be set for interleague play. This is just mean. Kind of funny, but mean. Is Jon Lester paying the price now for his overuse in 2008? Joe Haggerty points out that Jon pitched 210 1/3 innings during the regular season, and an additional 26 1/3 “high-stress” innings during the playoffs — before that, he had less than 155 IP in the majors, total. Closing out with a cool find from Eric Wilbur: the optical illusion of a curveball. tags: Brad Penny, Clay Buchholz, Daniel Bard, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester, Josh Beckett, Michael Bowden, Sox Bits next post: Gotcha! »» previous post: «« Sounds of Sox 19 Responses leave one → 1.

    The Boston Red Sox Friday, November 15, 2019 * The Boston Globe Xander Bogaerts finishes fifth in American League MVP race Julian McWilliams Xander Bogaerts finished fifth in American League MVP Award voting, the highest of his career. The Red Sox shortstop was 13th in 2013. Bogaerts hit .309 with a career-high 33 homers and 117 RBIs. Bogaerts tied Nomar Garciaparra for the most extra-base hits in a season by a Red Sox shortstop (85). Garciaparra did it in 1997 and 2002. Bogaerts’s 117 RBIs were the most in a season by a Red Sox shortstop since Garciaparra had 120 in 2002. Bogaerts was just the third shortstop in MLB history with at least a .300 batting average, 85 extra-base hits, and 115-plus RBIs. The others are Alex Rodriguez, in 1996 with the Mariners and 2001 and 2002 with the Texas, and Garciaparra. Bogaerts finished behind the Yankees’ DJ LeMahieu, who pulled in 10 fourth-place votes to Bogaerts’s six. Mookie Betts was eighth, Rafael Devers 12th, and J.D. Martinez was tied for 21st in AL voting. MLB speaks with Alex Cora as it investigates Astros’ sign-stealing Peter Abraham and Alex Speier SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Red Sox manager Alex Cora is one of the key figures into Major League Baseball’s investigation of the Houston Astros, an appraisal that goes beyond charges of sign stealing in 2017. Cora, who was bench coach of the Astros in 2017, has spoken to officials charged with determining to what degree Houston flouted rules against using cameras to pick up signs from opposing catchers.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, November 5, 2018 * The Boston Globe Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Ian Kinsler win Gold Glove awards Peter Abraham Jackie Bradley Jr. didn’t need a Gold Glove to be recognized as one of the best center fielders in the major leagues. Red Sox fans have known that for several years. But Bradley certainly did deserve one and it finally came his away on Sunday night. Bradley, right fielder Mookie Betts, and second baseman Ian Kinsler were Gold Glove winners. The Red Sox and Atlanta Braves each had three. A finalist in 2014 and ’16, Bradley was selected ahead of Mike Trout (Angels) and Adam Engel (White Sox) in voting done by managers and coaches. Bradley was second among MLB center fielders with an 8.7 ultimate zone rating and tied for the American League lead with eight assists. There’s no statistic for improbable acrobatic catches but Bradley had a series of those. Betts won for the third consecutive year, the first Red Sox player to do that since Dwight Evans won five in a row from 1981-85. Betts is now one of seven Red Sox players to win three or more Gold Gloves. Betts led all right fielders with 20 defensive runs saved. He has 83 DRS the last three seasons. Kinsler, 36, is now a two-time winner. He also won with the Tigers in 2016. In 128 games for the Angels and Red Sox, Kinsler had 10 DRS, the most in the AL at second base. Andrew Benintendi (left field) and Mitch Moreland (first base) were finalists.
