Red Sox Notes: Boston Newcomers Putting In Work Amid Slow Offensive Start

Share this: The Boston Red Sox’s normally red-hot offense has been a little cold to begin the 2017 season, but that hasn’t been the case for Boston’s newest additions. Various ailments and injuries have prevented a handful the Red Sox’s best hitters from playing at their highest level in the first 11 games, with Andrew Benintendi currently batting .238, Mookie Betts batting .250 and Hanley Ramirez batting .241 after all three hitters went 0-for-4 in Boston’s 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.

Joe Paterno Twice Addresses Students Showing Support Outside Head Coach’s Home (Videos)
