Red Sox 2010 Annual

Red Sox 2010 Annual N0726
The Red Sox off-season strategy was the cause for much debate throughout New England and baseball this winter. From "Bridge Year" to Jason Bay signing with the Mets, there were plenty of topics to keep the hot stove warm in Boston. Those who saw offense as the problem when the Sox were swept by the Angels questioned letting Bay walk while bringing in defense-first acquisitions like Adrian Beltre and Mike Cameron. With John Lackey and Marco Scutaro joining the mix, "pitching and defense" has been heard more than once around the ballpark and on the radio this winter.

But will the strategy pay off with a deeper playoff run this season?

The Maple Street Press Red Sox Annual 2010 has the answers, and more. Well-respected analysts and authors such as Boston.com's Chad Finn, CSNNE.com's Art Martone, Alex Speier of WEEI.com, MLB.com's Ian Browne, Baseball Prospectus' David Laurila, Micheal Silverman of the Boston Herald, and many others provide everything you could want to know about the Sox, including:

Pitch-by-pitch scouting reports, with information provided by Inside Edge, detail what to expect from Sox hitters and pitchers with write-ups from Boston.com's Chad Finn. Look at the Sox' process and see how it shapes every acquisition and player move. See through advanced baseball metrics just how good the Sox defense could be, and what that could mean for wins and losses. Learn the real value of lightning rod J.D. Drew. Was his contract worth it? Where does he rank among other right fielders in the game? Using metrics such as Pitch-f/x, the Annual goes in-depth to answer questions like whether Jonathan Papelbon's 2009 was an aberration or a sign of things to come. Take a look at the rotation to see whether it could be the best Sox starting five (or six) ever. Check out the Sox minor league system to see the players Theo Epstein was talking about in his "bridge" comments, including the Sox top 20 prospects. Remember Pedro Martinez from his Sox glory years: the best pitcher on the planet at his very highest point. Go back into Sox history to the 1975 season with someone who was there. That's just a sampling of the in-depth articles, opinions, and nostalgia found in this year's Maple Street Press Red Sox Annual. Check out the table of contents below for all the content. There's no ads, just 128 pages of full-color Sox content.
