To make room for the recently-signed John Smoltz on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox have designated righthander David Pauley for assignment. Boston now has ten days to trade, release, or outright Pauley to Triple-A (if he clears waivers and is willing to agree to a minor league deal). Pauley, 25, appeared in six games for Boston in 2008, going 0-1 with a 11.68 ERA, 11 strikeouts, and 5 walks in 12.1 innings. Despite failing to impress with the big league club last season, Pauley continued his dominance of Triple-A opponents in 2008, going 14-4 with a 3.55 ERA, 103 strikeouts, and 41 walks over 147 innings in 25 starts for Pawtucket.

Pauley sucks. He does, really. He has no future with this franchise, or likely any other.

Thanks MGBB

Yep, Pauley isn’t much of a loss.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

The thing I'll miss from Pauley is people talking about him as if he had any trade value

It was funny. Him and Hansack are only good for that.

Mother---- him and John Wayne!

It’s so true.

I think he has trade value

Surely we could get a couple of baseballs for him, don’t you think? There has to be a team out there in desperate need for a BP pitcher. Maybe in high school?

For those children who claimed they’ve been a fan of their favorite team all their life, or even since they were about four or five years old: bullshit. There’s always that certain event or certain player that draws to the sport and draws you to a team. For me, Nomar Garciaparra was that reason. - Nick Coviello: I Try To See Rocco, But All I Think Is Nomar; 1/9/09

Pauley sucks? My thought was that on a few teams he could challenge for a spot in their rotation, though I wont deny that he has zero trade value.

Hey, Drugs, good news!

MGBB, your comma placement in that sentence is interesting.
I am not the punctuation police, it just made me laugh when I saw the post.

Hahaha

I’ve spent most of my life in America, studied there all my life and all. But I’ll never learn proper punctuation, I always do it like it’s done in my born language. And I also count money in portuguese as well. These two things I’ll never ‘get’ well. :)
