Rule 5 and the Red Sox: Bring on the Loadstone

Did you notice that the 2007 Red Sox featured no rule 5 guys on the roster? Didn’t managing the roster just seem a lot easier than in the Stern or Lenny Dinardo days? There are some interesting names our there but I hope the Red Sox don’t waste a roster spot on a guy who cannot contribute to this year’s team. I don’t see them losing anyone as none of their eligible guys seem all that interesting.

One of the side benefits of a Santana trade based on the way it's been laid out to date is that Boston frees up a spot on the 40-man roster, thus allowing another player to be protected. As you mention, they're not in dire need of protecting.

Brian Barton would make an interesting backup OF however. Other than him, I don't really like other players, not even Lubanski.

No loadstone this year for the Red Sox. They did lose low-A-baller Jose Capellan and AA/AAA reliever Lincoln Holdzkom. Capellan had some decent #s in Lowell, but I don't know how they're going to make him stick the bigs. Holdzkom is 25 and walked way too many guys last year. I didn't expect either of these guys to go.
