Red Sox Sign Mike Timlin and AFL Notes

by @ 1:02 pm. Filed under 2007 Season

The Red Sox inked Mike Timlin to a one year deal for $2.8 million.  That’s not too far out of line even with Timlin’s rough season last year.  He is 40 but they got him for less then he made last year ($3.6 million).  I’m just hoping they go out and get some solid relief help.  With Jon Papelbon headed into the rotation, that leaves a hole.  Craig Hansen showed he’s not ready to take on that closer role, at least not yet.  And it’s also unlikely that Keith Foulke will be back to his dominating days anytime soon.

Red Sox centerfield prospect Jacoby Ellsbury has been tearing up the Arizona Fall League.  You can click on that link to see how the Red Sox prospects are doing in the AFL and the Hawaiian League.
