Daily Red Sox Links: A.J. Pierzynski, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz

"A.J. Pierzynski isn't going to change his style" has likely been a headline in every town he's ever played in. (Nick Cafardo; Boston Globe)

Which is probably why he headlines this position-by-position look at Boston's offensive deficiencies. (Brian MacPherson; Providence Journal)

Though his acquisition is probably not as big a mistake as Stephen Drew has been. (Kirk Minihane; WEEI)

In less depressing news, Pedro is "really impressed" by the Red Sox pitching prospects. (Nick Solari; NESN)

David Ortiz hit a home run after promising a group of sick children he would.  (Steve Silva; Boston.com)

And Pedro gave out ice cream in front of the Prudential Center. (Nick O'Malley, MassLive)

Finally, here's an in-depth scouting report on Henry Owens. (Ian Cundall; Sox Prospects)
