Is Craig Breslow a free agent ? if he is, i really hope the sox keep him, he wasnt bad at all last year

[scaffolds]

Breslow doesn't have the time in the ML to be a ML free agent, as of now he is on the Sox's 40 man roster, however i would said that his chances of making the Sox 25 man roster out of Spring training isn't better than 50-50.

[example1]

How about Hansack? What's his place? AAA, long relief?

[jsinger121]

Hansack is on the 40 man roster so he will be with the organization next year. He may win a long relief role in spring training but may begin 2007 in Pawtucket.

The Red Sox have signed minor free agent RHP Adam Bernero. Bernero who will be 30 yrs at the end of the month pitched in the Phillies and Royals system in 2006. Bernero pitched most of the 2005 season in Atlanta. Bernero has pitched as a reliever and as a starter.

The Red Sox have released Dominican OF Moises Santa. The release in my opion isn't talent related, Santa has had a few issues the last couple of years and may not had been matured enough.

Interesting guy. His 2005 RA was 6.70 but his FIP was 3.62 and xFIP was 4.18. Must not get along with the other guys on the team that well.

or it is because he flat out sucks and has had a chance to win a spot everywhere he has gone.

Could be that. Considering he's almost a mortal lock to spend the entire year on the farm, it doesn't really matter. He's just stat fodder.

[scaffolds]

Bernero is what he is a filler, it will have to be an emergency for him to be called to the ML.

I had always liked super joe mcewing. Can play 7 positions in a pinch, a good guy to have on your bench.

[scaffolds]

With Cora around Mc Ewins isn't needed, but he will be a insurance policy in Pawtucket in case of an injury in Boston

[scaffolds]

The Sox have signed Dominican shortstop Ed Rogers and veteran minor leaguer Kerry Robinson (OF) as minor league free agents and resigning their own minor league free agents Jeff Bailey(1b/C) and RHP John Barnes, in addition the signing of minor league free agents Jimenez, Scales and Hughers who where reported in earlier posts has become official. The Sox 2006 minor league free agent class isn't a strong one. The Sox also released Australian catcher Matt Kent.

[jacksonianmarch]

rotoworld didnt like the pickups saying that the sox continually bring in non-roster invitees who have no shot and hence the cupboard is bare at midseason. What I'd say to rotoworld is, why would a non-roster invitee want to go to the sox when they know they dont have a prayer of seeing time until august anyway. Take it for what it is worth.

[scaffolds]

Like i posted before its a weak group.
