12/3/2005 - Out of Greenfield
So what are folks talking about in Greenfield? The Red Sox, of course. Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that the Sox now have 5 closers? Major league teams prefer to use just one closer -- a fearsome pitcher that can come in at the end of the game and shut down the opposing team's hitters. That's great, so long as that one pitcher stays healthy and effective.
2 years ago, the Sox had Foulke, and he did great as the Sox won it all. Last year, Foulke had some problems (some physical, some not so much) and the Sox turned the glove over to Timlin. They wasted no time re-signing him. So Foulke is [1] and Timlin is [2].
Next the Sox engaged in a strange trade of "distant prospects" for "once were stars." In that trade, the Sox picked up Mota [3]. Well, I guess he isn't really a closer, but his stats make him look like he could close.
On to minor leaguers. Last year the Sox drafted a player named Hansen [4]from St. Johns. He has never let up a run in the minor league, although he let up quite a few in his first stint in the majors last year. He needs to learn another pitch, but he could well be the closer 12 months from now.
Finally, just to be on the safe side, the Sox acquired AAA Reliever Van Buren [5] from the Cubs (where he got 25 saves and was named an All-Star). Now the question is -- which one of these closers is going to play Centerfield when the Sox fail to sign Damon?
