The Boston Red Sox are not a team that you normally associate with rookies. Perennial contenders to win the American League East, the Red Sox usually rely on established, experienced players. But there are still a number of rookies that are poised to make an impact in 2009. These are the top 5 rookies that can be expected to break out for the Red Sox in 2009: #1: Jonathan Van Every, CF #2: Chris Carter, 1B/OF #3: George Kattaras, C #4: Michael Bowden, P #5: Junichi Tazawa, P #1 Boston Red Sox Rookie: Jonathan Van Every - Fantasy Baseball 2009 Going into Spring Training the Boston Red Sox have set up Jacoby Ellsbury as their starter in Center Field. He seems set, coming off a .280 batting average. However, in 2007, Ellsbury hit .353. Is Ellsbury in decline? If he doesn't pick back up and get back on his 2007 pace-or even if he just gets injured, look for rookie Jonathan Van Every to move into the starting position. If not in center field, the depth chart also shows Van Every as a backup in both right and left field. Jonathan Van Every appeared in 11 games for the Red Sox in 2008. He hit just .235 with six strikeouts and zero home runs. In 119 games at the AAA-level, he also only hit .263. However, while he was there, he hit 26 home runs in 380 at-bats. He has power, and when the Red Sox need someone to step up with home runs, they will look to Jonathan Van Every. If Van Every continues in a part-time role, he may still be good for 10 home runs. If someone else in the outfield falters, look for Van Every to step up and be good for 15-20 home runs and a .260 batting average. #2 Boston Red Sox Rookie: Chris Carter - Fantasy Baseball 2009 Chris Carter is an outfielder, but the Red Sox have him penciled in as a backup to First Baseman Kevin Youkilis. Now Youkilis is a solid player, finishing 2008 with a .312 batting average, 29 home runs, and 115 RBIs. He's been solid, and the Red Sox want him to play every day. But if Youke slips, or if he gets injured, Chris Carter is going to be read to step into his shoes. In 2008 Chris Carter hit .333 in 9 games for the Red Sox. While at the AAA-level, he batted an even .300 in 121 games. He was also good for 24 home runs and 81 RBIs. The Red Sox would like Chris Carter to get more playing time in 2009, whether it's at first base or in the outfield. He likely won't be a starter out of Spring Training, but he will see action, at least on a part-time basis. If there's injuries, Carter is first in line to take over. He should have at least 10-12 home runs for the Red Sox in 2009 and will be at least .290. #3 Boston Red Sox Rookie: George Kottaras - Fantasy Baseball 2009 Heading into Spring Training, Josh Bard is listed as the Red Sox's starting catcher. But he batted only .202 in 2008 and finished the year batting only .136 in his last 10 games. George Kottaras is ready to step in and challenge Bard, and could be the starter coming out of Spring Training. Kottaras only hit .200 for the Red Sox in 2008, but he only had 5 at-bats in 3 games. At the AAA-level, Kottaras was another person, batting .243 with an impressive 22 home runs. Look for Kottaras to put the pressure on and move up in Spring Training. If he comes out as the starting catcher, expect him to spend most of the year behind the plate, solidifying that position for the Red Sox for years to come. In 2009 he should bat near .250 and should give the Red Sox an additional 20 home runs from a low spot in the batting order. #4 Boston Red Sox Rookie: Michael Bowden - Fantasy Baseball 2009 Michael Bowden started one game for the Boston Red Sox in August, 2008. He made it through five innings and gave up two hits and two earned runs (3.60 ERA). He walked one and struck out three. That's an impressive Major League debut for any pitcher, but especially for one with an 0-3 record at the AAA-level. He did pitch 40 innings there with a 3.38 ERA, however. He was much more impressive at the AA-level in 2008, going 9-4 in 19 games with a 2.33 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 104 innings. While the Boston Red Sox certainly have some big names in their pitching lineup for 2009, watch for Michael Bowden to make an impact early, especially if he can keep up his control. Look for him to become a regular #5 starter and if there's injuries, he could quickly move up in the rotation. He should get 10 wins this season, more if he moves up in the rotation during Spring Training. Either way, he should also have at least 80 strikeouts this in 2009. #5 Boston Red Sox Rookie: Junichi Tazawa - Fantasy Baseball 2009 Junichi Tazawa is the real wild-card on this list. The Boston Red Sox don't really know what they're getting, either. Junichi Tazawa has no professional baseball experience at all. He is just 22 years old and has only played amateur baseball. However, at the baseball world cup in Taiwan, he threw a fastball at 97 mph, which was apparently all the Red Sox needed to sign him. Going into Spring Training, Junichi Tazawa will have to pitch well to make the team. It is expected he will make the team, and may start out as the Red Sox long reliever or spot starter. If he can continue to throw 97 mph, look for him to get 8-10 wins, more if other starters start showing up with injuries. Throughout his amateur baseball time, he has consistently thrown an average of over one strikeout an inning, so he should also be good for at least 50 strikeouts this year, perhaps many more.
