Daily Red Sox Links: Christian Vazquez, Jacoby Ellsbury, Johnny DiPuglia

Christian Vazquez had a career year offensively but catcher is still a position with plenty of questions marks for the Red Sox. (Christopher Smith; MassLive)

It’s been a rough road for former Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury of late. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe)

If you’re trying to decide which team to root for in the World Series, perhaps the fact that Johnny DiPuglia, Washington’s vice president of of international operations, has a connection with the Red Sox could help you lean toward the Nationals. (Rob Bradofrd; WEEI)

Of course it would be nicer if the Red Sox were in the World Series themselves, but all we can do now is look toward the future of the team. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal) ($$)
