It might be a crapshoot, or even a favor, but still the Sox saw something in him to use a pick on him. Last season he had visited at Fenway where our Paps introduced him to the submariner Chad Bradford. In which he was given advice during that encounter. If healthy and steadily brought up, he could be a decent reliever or a solid righty specialist like Chad was for Boston.
