Red Sox Need Help in Right Field

The Red Sox have needed some help with Right Field ever since they signed J.D. Drew.  He is one of the highest paid players on the Red Sox roster, and his production has not been nearly what the Sox expected.  This year, the Red Sox have the worst offensive statistics in baseball for right field players, and unless they make a change they will continue to struggle at that position.  Management has publicly stated that they need help and need to make a change at right field, which is something they should have said years ago.

Bonds Trial and the Hall of Fame

The Barry Bonds trial has started with jury selection, and the trial could end in as little as three or four weeks.  He is being tried for perjury, stemming from him allegedly lying about knowingly using steroids and other performance enhancing drugs.  Bonds claims that his trainer rubbed some cream on him and gave him flax seed oil, and that he did not know that they were PED's known as "the cream" and "the clear".  No matter the outcome of the trial, his name and his records are all tainted in the eyes of the fans, and his chances of making it into the Hall of Fame are slim to none.

The Jon Lester Story Keeps Getting Better

Terry Francona has announced that Jon Lester will be the opening day starter for the Boston Red Sox this year.  It seems that his story just keeps getting better and better.  Just a few years ago Red Sox Nation was wondering if Lester would be able to pitch again as he was fighting cancer.  Even after he came back there was the question of how effective he would be, but he silenced the doubters right away.  Ever since his return, he has been completely dominant, and has finally earned his way to be called the Red Sox "Ace".  This was not an easy task since the Sox have four pitchers that would be opening day starters for just about any other team in baseball.
