| | Like I said, I always had a dream. This is where I started. This is where the dream to play baseball in the big leagues started, it started here, with the Red Sox. And I think once I got to the big leagues, once I got to play in front of all of these fans, and just the way the city and the fans embraced me, I just always felt that connection. And for me, I always said… that I want...

| | Meanwhile, the player has publicly embraced the change and asserted that he believes the diminished physical demands of playing left field will allow him to flourish offensively. Does that mean his numbers could get even better than 2009?

| | The Red Sox do not have a no-facial-hair policy like the one enforced by the Florida Marlins, so Jeremy Hermida returned yesterday to his former stomping grounds sporting a short beard.
He did not go unnoticed.
“They liked it. The few reviews I got were positive,” Hermida said of the reaction of his former teammates. “I figured I’ve been shaving here for seven...

| | At 30, Bill Hall knows who he is. He is a leather-toting hydra.
In 2006, Hall played mostly shortstop for the Milwaukee Brewers, hitting 35 home runs, 39 doubles and driving home 85 runs. He had a slugging percentage of .553, good for anyone but remarkable for a shortstop. That offseason he signed a four-year, $24 million deal with a 2011 option worth another $9.25 million. It was the...

| | The Boston Red Sox and pitcher Josh Beckett will spend the remainder of spring training trying to come to an agreement on a contract extension, according to a source close to the situation.
But Beckett's strong preference, according to the source, is to have talks finalized before Opening Day as he is reluctant to negotiate during the season for fear of the issue becoming a distraction...

In the 7-6 victory against the Cardinals, Reddick tied the game in the ninth with an RBI double, then came in on Lin’s RBI single that fell in front of a charging St. Louis center fielder Shane...

| Gil Velazquez didn’t have to translate Jose Iglesias’ answer when the Cuban-born shortstop was asked yesterday what his favorite moment has been this spring.
“My first home run,” he said barely a half-hour after he stroked a three-run shot in the eighth inning of a 7-6 Red Sox win against the St. Louis Cardinals at City of Palms Park.
The homer came...

| | Josh Beckett wanted to work on his changeup against the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday and threw a beauty to Colby Rasmus in the second inning, the ball deceptively plummeting to the ankles of the cleanup hitter as he swung over it.
Red Sox catcher Victor Martinez came out of his crouch and pointed at Beckett before firing the ball to third base.
It was one little moment in spring...

| | As far as his home field is concerned, he comes to Fenway Park from Safeco Field. According to ESPN park factors, Fenway Park is a vastly superior ballpark for hitters than Safeco (a +12.5% improvement with respect to runs and a +7.8% improvement with respect to homers). Batting charts indicate that he will benefit somewhat from the Green Monster (3-4 home runs), but because he tends to...

| | Mark Wagner is part of an intriguing trio of catching prospects the Red Sox are grooming at the moment.
Yesterday at Ed Smith Stadium, the 25-year-old showed some impressive and timely pop in his bat as well.
Wagner’s ninth-inning, two-out home run gave the Red Sox - and Casey Kelly - the 5-4 victory against the Orioles. The dinger was Wagner’s second game-winning hit of...
