Sox FO's first re-signings (minor to say)

[riverside sluggers]

The Sox have re-signed relievers Bryan Corey & Mike Burns to 1 year deals and "sent" them down to Patwucket. Carlos Pena, Alejandro Machado and Ken Huckaby have elected free agency.

Burns and Corey? Playoffs here we come.:thumbsup:

[riverside sluggers]

As I said, they were sent down to Pawtucket. They will start the year off in Triple A. Just being kept around as insurance really.

[yankeessuck013]

aww, I was hoping Pena would stay and perhaps backup Youk.

Burns was 0-and-0 with a 4-point-70 E-R-A in seven relief appearances after being acquired from Cincinnati on August 29th.

 

Corey, acquired from Texas on July 30th, was 1-and-0 with a 4-point-57 E-R-A in 16 relief appearances with Boston.

 

Who the hell writes about baseball like this?

Thanks Riverside---and forgive my absence from this great board. Been concentrating on Dirt Dogs where there is plenty of action going on with our front office's plans this coming winter. Doesn't sound so earth shaking to me, though. Machado and Huckaby were nothing to write home about and Pena has washed out in Oakland, Detroit, New York and God knows where else. Hopefully he will find a place to hang his hat. Just glad it will not be in Boston. I know he is a local kid but, let's face it, taking on other team's rejects didn't work for us this year unless you consider Jason Johnson, Kyle Snyder and some of the other stiffs we picked up successful players. As for Corey and Burns, they are right where they belong in my opinion-----in the minors.:harhar: :harhar: :harhar: :harhar:

[seabeachfred]

Is it possible that Theo finally learned that we cannot win anything taking on other team's refuse? I mean between Burns, Corey, Johnson and Snyder, Epstein reached a new low in stupidity and ineptness. Now, hopefully, he will get busy and do the right thing for our team. I have decided to cut him a little slack now and see if he can regain some of the confidence we had in him in 2004 before he had a brain shock.

Sorry to let you all know, but Kevin Jarvis has also elected free agency

[Cocos Disciples]

Darn!

[yankeessuck013]

The Red Sox will likely have interest in retaining Pena, but they weren't going to keep him on the roster and risk going to arbitration with him. Pena will see if anyone will present him with a better chance of regular playing time before he considers re-signing with his hometown team.

I've posted less than a handful of times there, but I go and read through the threads from time to time. You are a scout, right?

You must know Jsinger, Have you come to take him back with you? Please?

How does one get involved in professional scouting anyway?

[scaffolds]

To be a baseball scout isn't easy to get into, but there are different ways to get in, one of them of course is being an ex player, but being an explayer alone won't do it, you have the right connection, another one is to go as many amateur games as possible and meet and talk to as many scouts as possible and another way is to send letters, resumes, emails to all of the organizations to try to get your feets inside, in whatever capacity and make connections. The baseball scouting bureau just concluded their training, there was over 600 hundred students.
