Is Theo reading El Guapo's Ghost? I think so. The Sox announced at 6:45 that they signed Gabe Kapler to a minor league deal. Theo states that:
"He's a right-handed hitter, he's a tremendous defensive outfielder at all three positions. He's an above average runner, an above average thrower. He's a threat with the bat," Red Sox GM Theo Epstein said. "We think he can fit our club nicely. If he performs well in the minor leagues and there's a need up here, it could work out nicely." (Brown, mlb.com)
I woud just add that Kapler is a cheap upgrade in rightfield versus southpaws for the Sox.
More on this tomorrow.
One more thing, it is great to see DLowe only issue two walks over eight innings.
