Tommy Pham – Every Red Sox Player Ever
Considering that Tommy Pham hit for a lousy .234 batting average in only 234 at-bats, it’s pretty safe to say he won’t be returning to the Red Sox for 2023.
Every Red Sox Player Ever – Jerry Remy
Advanced metrics may not be kind to the Rem Dawg, and perhaps he wasn’t the greatest player in Red Sox history. But, without the injuries he suffered that took away three of his prime seasons, he would’ve been more than likely a league-average regular for the vast majority of his Red Sox career. Traded to […]
Every Red Sox Player Ever: Andy Abad
Andy Abad never had any success in Major League Baseball, but unlike many who toil in the professional minor leagues for many seasons, he did make it to the show, not once, not twice, but three times. The long time minor leaguer was a pretty good hitter who probably never got a fair shake based […]

Trot Nixon – An Unsung Hero of the 1999 to 2005 Red Sox
Christopher Trotman Nixon, better known as “Trot,” was a first-round selection of the Boston Red Sox. Despite how highly Nixon was regarded, his first few seasons in the minor leagues weren’t all that exciting. Nixon did get called up to the Major Leagues in 1996, and got 2 hits in 4 at-bats. His 1997 season […]
