2007 The 71st pick in the 2006 draft, this behemoth came to the team`s attention a closer in the Cape Cod League in 2005. Having already thrown 116 innings prior to the draft, he worked out of the bullpen in Lowell. Adding a few MPH to a low-90s two-seam fastball that he continued to located very well, he made mincemeat out of opposing hitters, holding them to a .174/.208/.200 showing. The Sox will move him back into the rotation in 2007; the development of his secondary pitches will determine if he stays there.
