The Boston Red Sox have an abundance of talent. Who will surface as the team MVP for position players and pitchers?

The Boston Red Sox will have a team most valuable position player and a most valuable pitcher and a variety of other awards. The awards are usually dispensed at the annual Boston Chapter of the Baseball Writers’ of America Banquet – say that fast five times. The dinner is generally held in January and if one wishes to get up close and personal with your current favorite this is  the place to go. Tickets are usually available and should cost you considerable less than a ticket at Fenway Park.

Then there is the speculative enjoyment of venturing into the area of a wild guess or a prediction actually based on some type of reasonable foundation. This is hot stove enjoyment similar to hypothetical trades that can keep us all collectively engaged in determining just who has the most mind-boggling view of all things baseball.

So I venture into the unknown and take a look at who I feel stands a reasonable chance to be an MVP position player and MVP pitcher for the Red Sox. The good news for Red Sox fans is the depth and quality of the team certainly offers many possibilities.
