Fenway Fables

The Red Sox signed right handed pitcher Kyle Snyder to a one year deal that will mean the two sides will avoid arbitration.  Snyder was picked up off waivers by the Red Sox in June of 2006 and he’s never shown that he’s been able to make it the major league level.  He has a career 5.94 ERA in 181 2/3 innings and while his strikeout numbers were good when he came to Boston (55 in 58 1/3 innings) this really bucked a trend in which he has 115 strikeouts in those 181 2/3 career innings.

I’m not sure if Snyder will even make the team but if it does, it might be as the last pitcher so most of his time will probably come in a mop up roll.  We’ll see.
