It's been awhile, for a variety of reasons. Now the Sox are down a few guys, and up a few others, as third round pick Jordan Weems and tenth round pick Cody Koback have both signed with the team. Weems' bonus of $500,000 (per Jim Callis) is well above slot level.
The signing deadline isn't too terribly far away now, so don't be surprised if more of these start popping up sometime soon.

Pawtucket L 2-3
Che-Hsuan Lin: 0-2, 3 BB, K
Ryan Lavarnway: 0-2, 3 BB, 2 K
-Ryan took a day off from swinging the bat, simply sending a stand-in cardboard cutout. Pitchers still were afraid to throw strikes.

-I would say "slump snapped" if I didn't know that Bogaerts follows it up with an 0-7. Still, the 8-16 streak was pretty good.

-Tazawa has a 22:6 K:BB ratio in Portland, and might not be too far off from a return to Pawtucket.
Cesar Cabral: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Salem L 5-10
Kolbrin Vitek: 0-5, 2 K, E
-25 errors this season. Kolbrin Vitek is probably not a third baseman.
Bryce Brentz: 0-5, 2 K
Miles Head: 2-4, HR, K
Anthony Ranaudo: 3.2 IP, 8 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
-Though he's got very good peripherals, Ranaudo's Salem time is now looking pretty disappointing on the whole. There's something to be said for the questionable defense behind him, but still.
