Daily Red Sox Links: Rick Porcello, David Ortiz, Robby Scott

Rick Porcello’s extension was fairly controversial, but looks good now. How much would be make if he were to hit the market this winter? (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

Porcello typically seems like a quiet guy, but as we saw against Baltimore he won’t back down when he’s on the mound. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)

Porcello is among the favorites for the Cy Young, but is he even the most deserving pitcher in his own rotation? (Bryan Joiner; BP Boston)

The Red Sox look at lot like the team that won the AL East in 2015. (Jeff Sullivan; Fangraphs)

While he’s been mostly quiet on the subject this year, David Ortiz opened up on the importance of making the Hall of Fame. (Brian MacPherson; Providence Journal)

Although his absence will surely leave a hole in the clubhouse, Dustin Pedroia is the perfect candidate to take over Ortiz’s role. (Jen McCaffrey; Masslive)

Robby Scott has improbably worked his way into the playoff roster discussion, and he appreciates the long journey he’s taken to get here. (Evan Drellich; Boston Herald)
