Red Sox Make Some Noise

The Red Sox are reportedly ready to announce the signings of free agents John Smoltz and Rocco Baldelli. Smoltz, a future Hall of Famer, is a great fit for the Red Sox. He provides depth to their rotation and has succeeded on a high level for a long time which will add valuable leadership to the pitching staff. The 1996 N.L. Cy Young winner is the only pitcher in baseball history with at least 200 wins and 150 saves in his career. Baldelli will provide the Sox with a needed reserve outfielder. He was once considered a rising star in baseball before injuries made him a part-time player. The Rhode Island native had better be healthy considering he will be called upon to backup the brittle J.D. Drew in the outfield.
