May 21, 200322 yr They were all Ken Williams acquisitions or the fact that they are all pitchers? I love pointing out the obvious, lol.

Hate to sound like a KW hater without objectivity, but the guys obtained in trades and the signing of Yofu had to do with Williams. Or at least nothing more than listening to his scouting department. Signing a free agent to a Minor League contract again has nothing to do with KW. More than likely that was Shaffer signing the guy based on the scout that saw him in Miami's recommendation.

I assume that the minor league free agents that are signed are pretty much up to the general manager. In regards to Yofu he was signed becasue Carlos Castill (I think thats who it was) told him to talk to one of our scouts.

One of the Sox scouts in south FL saw him working out, (there were other Major League players working out as well). and recommended we sign him. The Farm Director or Director of Player Development (or whatever title they give him) handle most minor league free agent signings.
