    OPS (He led in OBP & SLG):

    HRs & RBI (same guy):

    BA:

    SB:

    fWAR:

    (Hint: 4 different names if 5 slots.)
    Manny, Papi, Pedey, Ellsbury, Betts... that's 5... dang, it's Manny for OPS and BA?

    It's Papi for fWAR and HRS&RBI.

    Pedey was a close second on fWAR.

    AGon is the BA leader at .321 (1242 PAs). Pedey second at .310.

    The answer to every trivia question about the 2007 Red Sox is Mike Lowell.

    Name the top 5 pitching fWAR leaders for the Sox since 2004:

    Who are the top 3 WHIP leaders with 220+ IP? (Hint: 2 are RP'ers.)

    Gonzo in just two seasons, but made your eligibility. Pedroia edged Papi in bWAR... and Mookie almost beat them both in around half the games.

    Who scored more runs in the '07 WS than were given up by the Sox entire starting rotation -- Beckett, Schilling, DiceK, Lester...

    Who tied Bobby Kielty for most WS home run, Ellsbury for most WS stolen base (and error) for the champs...

    Who had one less hit and one less double than Ellsbury, and one less RBI than Varitek in the WS...

    Here is a tough one:

    Since 1974, only 30 times has a pitcher had 170+ IP in a season and an ERA- (fangarphs) or 54 or lower.

    Six of those times have been by Sox pitchers.
    1. Pedro at 35 in '00
    4. Pedro at 42 in '99
    15. Clemens at 47 in '90
    17. Pedro at 48 in '03
    20. Pedro at 50 in '02
    30. _____ at 54 for the Sox in ___?

    (Hint: it is not Pedro or Clemens, again.)

    I was assuming Tiant, given the arbitrary 1974 date.

    As it odd clearly not Tiant (who makes the list of the date gets pushed to 1972), I cheated and looked it up…

    Claymation? He falls short on innings in 2013, though.

    Was it his 2010 season?
