| 7/20/04 - 3 New Bosox The Bosox have signed recently promoted IFer Jorge Cantu of TB along with hard hitting OFer Brandon Moss and SS Luis Soto, both of Boston. Cantu likely will find himself a home at 2B in TB alongside stud BJ Upton, though he may have the power for 3B. In other news Hideo Nomo now officially sucks |
| Top 10 Red Sox Prospects 1. B.J. Upton SS 2. Jose Capellan RHP 3. John Maine RHP 4. Dallas McPherson 3B 5. John VanBenschoten RHP 6. Jeremy Reed CF 7. Blake Hawksworth RHP 8. Lou Palmisano C 9. Brian Bruney RP 10. Bill Murphy LHP Recently Acquired John Maine Abe Alvarez Anthony Reyes Dallas McPherson The #2 3B prospect in the country looks to make the team in 2005 B.J. Upton top SS prospect in the country and likely the #2 overall John VanBenschoten A great young rightie who's only been pitching regularly for two years but has been very successful. Jeremy Reed Possibly the best OF prospect in the minors right now |

| "I called George four, five, six days after we lost. I said, 'Are you over it yet?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Neither am I.' I said, 'I wake up in the middle of the night staring at Manny Ramirez. At Halloween, my daughter asked me what I was going to dress up as. My thought was Johnny Damon, because he sure scared the hell out of me." -Joe Torre 11/04 |
