Newsbreakers

October 9, 2009

According to the Providence Journal, Nick Green is still feeling fatigue in his right leg and is questionable to return for the postseason.

Our View:

Green says he's making progress, but still isn't able to do anything at game speed. He hasn't been able to participate in batting practice or field grounders without noticeable fatigue in the injured leg, and it looks like a longshot for him to play ball again this year.

October 2, 2009

Amy K. Nelson of ESPN is reporting that Red Sox's shortstop Nick Green took early batting practice with the team on Friday. Green has not started a game since August because of a back/leg injury.

Our View:

The team would like to have Green back for the postseason, but it seems lik a long-shot that he would be healthy enough to make the playoff roster by next week. The Sox should be able to manage just fine without Green in October.

September 26, 2009

According to the Providence Journal, Red Sox shortstop Nick Green is improving very slowly from a lg injury.

Our View:

Green is suffering from a disk problem in his back that is causing weakness in his leg. "He's had some minimal improvement," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "Not drastic improvement, but he is minimally improved. We'll certainly get a better feel when we get home." Don't expect much out of Green for the rest of the regular season.

September 21, 2009

Nick Green has been sent to Boston today to have his ailing right leg examined by a specialist, according to the Boston Herald.

Our View:

The injury is not believed to be serious, but the infielder has not started a game since August.

June 27, 2009

According to the Boston Globe, Nick Green is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game.

Our View:

Green will be replaced by Julio Lugo. Adjust your lineups accordingly.

June 21, 2009

Nick Green gave the Red Sox a win in walk-off fashion on Sunday. His solo shot in the bottom of the ninth was the difference in Boston's 6-5 win over the Braves.

Our View:

Green was just 1-for-3 on the day, but he made sure his hit was a big one. Big not really being the operative word though. The homer was just inside Pesky's pole and only went about 320 feet.

June 20, 2009

Nick Green led the way for the Boston offense on Saturday as the Red Sox beat the Braves 3-0. Green went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in the win.

Our View:

There wasn't much offense by either team tonight, but Green did his part to help the Sox win the game. The future of the Red Sox' shortstop situation is still unclear, but if Green keeps performing he has as good a chance as anyone to see playing time.

June 14, 2009

Nick Green had a big day on Sunday in the Red Sox' 11-6 loss to the Phillies. Green went 3-for-5 with a home run, a run scored, and an RBI in the game.

Our View:

Green played second base in place of Dustin Pedroia today, and he made his presence felt. Green is still only a part-time player, so his fantasy value is pretty minimal. He should not be owned until he becomes an everyday player.

May 30, 2009

Nick Green will start at shortstop in Saturday's day game, according to the Boston Globe. Manager Terry Francona says that since Green and Julio Lugo are so similar, the primary factor in who starts will be whoever is fresher. Lugo started Friday night's game.

Our View:

Green has had his ups and downs on defense, but his .299 batting average looks pretty strong. However, as long as he is splitting time with Lugo, there figures to be better options for fantasy purposes.

May 23, 2009

Nick Green will start at shortstop in tonight's home game against the Mets in interleague play, according to the Boston Globe. Julio Lugo is riding the pine, potentially for failing to convert a double play in Friday's loss.

Our View:

Green is hitting .318 with one homer and seven RBI over 44 at-bats at Fenway Park this season, and he is worth a look if you need help in your middle infield.

May 17, 2009

Nick Green's ninth inning throwing error allowed the Mariners to stay alive and eventually knock in the game-winning run in Sunday's 3-2 loss. It was his second error of the game and ninth of the season.

Our View:

Green's erroding defense may be enough to force Julio Lugo into a more steady role soon. Be sure to keep an eye on both players' playing time going forward.

May 5, 2009

According to the Boston Globe, the Red Sox will go with Nick Green again at shortstop on Tuesday.

Our View:

This is the second straight night Julio Lugo has been benched. The Sox want him to work on getting his strength up after his knee surgery. Green will likely lose considerable time once Lugo is 100 percent.

May 2, 2009

Nick Green is listed as the starting shortstop for Saturday's game against the Rays, the Boston Globe confirms. Julio Lugo started the previous two contests.

Our View:

The Red Sox are easing Lugo back from his knee surgery, and we expect Green to continue seeing action every three or four days.

April 22, 2009

Nick Green hit his first home run of the season on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with the homer, a run, and three RBI. He raised his season average to .276 with his performance.

Our View:

Green has been decent since taking over for the injured Jed Lowrie, but his fantasy value is limited since he is expected to be back on the bench upon Julio Lugo's return from injury. He could be a nice fill-in in AL-only leagues if you need a shortstop, but don't expect him to start all season.

April 12, 2009

Nick Green will start today's game against the Angels at shortstop, according to the Boston Globe.

Our View:

Jed Lowrie, who is only 1-for-18 at the plate so far, is getting the day off. Green will have a tough match-up at pitcher-friendly Angel Stadium, and should not be considered for fantasy duty.

April 5, 2009

According to ESPN.com, the Red Sox have purchased the contract of infielder Nick Green.

Our View:

It was expected that Green would make the club out of spring, but he'll hold virtually no fantasy value as a reserve infielder and pinch hitter.

March 31, 2009

Nick Green is expected to make the Red Sox as a utility man, according to the Boston Globe.

Our View:

The 30-year-old vet's fantasy value will be limited while serving in a reserve role. He is a career .240 hitter as well.

March 8, 2009

Nick Green collected two hits in three at-bats Sunday versus Tampa Bay. He also scored a pair of runs in Boston's 8-2 win.

Our View:

Depending on the health of third baseman Mike Lowell, appears on track to start the season as planned, Green could see some time at the hot corner, even if it means giving Lowell a day or two off.

January 5, 2009

The Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox have come to terms on a minor-league deal with infielder Nick Green.

Our View:

Green has batted .240 while playing for Atlanta, Tampa Bay, the New York Yankees, and Seattle in his career.
