April 5, 201313 yr Nick Giarraputo was released. I think he was originally going to W-S. Maybe this makes room for Eric Grabe?
April 6, 201313 yr I think it is interesting how players are assigned to rosters then cut, as opposed to just releasing them after ST.

April 6, 201313 yr Brackman now on W-S DL. Also appears they picked up a 3Bman named Jeremy Farrell. Edited April 6, 201313 yr by MnSoxFan
April 6, 201313 yr QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Apr 6, 2013 -> 09:22 AM) Brackman now on W-S DL. Also appears they picked up a 3Bman named Jeremy Farrell. Just what the Sox need, a 26-year old 3B at high-A. That's John Farrell's son, by the way.

April 6, 201313 yr It sure warms the heart to see another third baseman each week! Not going to have a shortage there anymore.

Buddy Bell made it clear that they weren't happy with their infield depth or quality at the minor league level. I guess them bringing in more live bodies makes some sense.

April 7, 201313 yr Despite the Sox old minor league system, Carlos Sanchez is the youngest player in the International League. He's off to a good start. Courtney Hawkins is the 3rd youngest player in the Carolina League. He's starting off slow, but probably trying too hard. I hope somebody just tells him that he's playing 130 games in Winston-Salem this year, and 130 games in Birmingham next year, and to just enjoy it. I could be completely wrong, but I think guys like Trout and Harper are probably getting in prospects heads now, making them think they can get to the big leagues a year or two out of high school.
