During the offseason I wrote an article predicting the struggles of the Boston Red Sox.

A few weeks ago my colleague Bryan Lutz suggested that Matt Kemp would win the Triple Crown. In order to win the Triple Crown, a player must lead their league in runs, homers and RBI. Kemp has slowed down a bit, as he’s tied for the National League lead in home runs (12) with Carlos [...]
