 More Red Sox NewsRed Sox LinksTwo of Boston's prominent selections, righthander Anthony Ranaudo and infielder Garin Cecchini, plan to play this summer in the hopes of showing the Red Sox that they?re worth better contracts than their draft status would indicate. Ranaudo was considered one of the two or three best college pitchers when the season started. But after an elbow injury knocked him out for five weeks, he fell to the Sox at No. 39. He could return to Louisiana State for his senior season. But the 6-foot-7-inch, 230-pound New Jersey native plans to play in the Cape Cod League. ?I talked to him briefly and he seems like a great kid and he wants to prove he?s still one of the best pitchers coming into the draft,?? said Sox amateur scouting director Amiel Sawdaye. ?It would benefit us to get to see him some more.?? |
