It took two years for the mega-trade that brought Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell to the Red Sox to pay off as hoped, but it’s difficult to argue with the results once it finally did. Acquired in November of 2005, Beckett was expected to be the replacement for Pedro Martinez in the Boston rotation that never surfaced that summer, but instead he posted a 5.01 ERA in 2006, leaving Curt Schilling as the lone ace on the squad again. In 2007, though, Beckett…

Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2008 Phillies land in this spot? You can’t say enough about Chase Utley’s 2008 season.

Utley led the majors in hit by pitches with a career-high 27, the second…
