As the calendar once again turns, this time from June to July, it’s time to take a look at those members of the Boston Red Sox who’ve stood out from their peers, either for good or for ill. As we draw ever nearer to the All-Star Break, and therefore to the trade deadline, the Red Sox front office will intensify its scrutiny of the current roster. Those who wind up on management’s
naughty list by the time Baseball Christmas rolls around may find themselves re-gifted to other teams. Others, though disappointing, will remain. There’s always hope that they’ll one day live up to their enormous value.
