Why does it seem as if Sox players are hell bent on hitting into double plays as often as they can?

Grounding into double plays are not characteristic of bad baseball players. Quite the opposite. Great players GIDP more than anyone else. It's not a good thing to complain about.

Elaborate? If you know a guy's a sinkerball pitcher and you pound one in the dirt, how is that the opposite of bad?

Ground ball pitcher with fast runner and contact hitter at the plate should lead to motion on the bases

Great players GIDP a lot. It's more a product of bad luck. A GIDP is a groundout with a player on first. That's really it.

Yep Anderson has hit into quite a few DP already. More cause he hits it hard.
