2007 BOSTON RED SOX ROSTER SERIES
That's something to keep in mind for anyone frustrated if and when someone like Matt Thornton (who has a 3.21 ERA in 18 appearances with the Red Sox, albeit while allowing four of seven inherited runners to score) makes the roster as the third lefty in the bullpen.īelow is the 25-man roster the Red Sox have fielded for each of their American League Division Series appearances since 2003: * Geremi Gonzalez, Adam Hyzdu and Alejandro Machado - all on the same roster.
* Only rarely have the Red Sox gone into the postseason with a pure pinch-runner on the roster, but that also has depended on whether they've actually had one in the organization * It wouldn't be surprising to see the Red Sox take just two catchers, which is what they did most of the time Jason Varitek was the starter - and then again after Victor Martinez was acquired in 2009 * Though Farrell has said he's taking 11 pitchers, more often than not the Red Sox went with 10 pitchers and 15 position players under Terry Francona (and, before him, Grady Little) BOSTON - With Ben Cherington, John Farrell and the entire Red Sox management team in the process of determining their 25-man roster for the American League Division Series, it might be instructive to look back to see how the Red Sox made those decisions in past years - with Cherington and Farrell both involved in talks, though not the primary decision-makers either in the front office or the dugout.
