The Red Sox are coming off a first half that didn’t quite go according to plan, to put it nicely. The team is far out of first place in the division, and the hopes for winning a fourth straight AL East title are close to nonexistent. They have to turn their hopes, most likely, to the wildcard race, and ever there they are two games out there. Because of all that, the coverage of this team has been mostly — and justifiably — negative. Despite all that, I am going to hand out some awards. After all, I am from the everyone-gets-a-trophy generation, or so I’ve been told over the last decade.
