RED SOX TRANSACTION UPDATE
The Red Sox acquired Henri Stanley from San Diego for cash considerations. Stanley was hitting 248/330/386 for S.D.’s AAA affiliate. Stanley has hit at every level minor league level. Last season at the anti-Coors field in New Orleans, he put up 292/368/445. The previous season in AA, Stanley hit 314/408/542. Clubs continue to give this guy away (Stanley was claimed off waivers by the Padres over the winter). He plays hard, has three and half of the traditional five tools, takes a walk and is cheap. Both Houston and San Diego could not find room on their 40-man for this guy. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
