Scott Boras told his client Anthony Ranaudo not to sign with the Red Sox right away, and go to the Cape, where he could show his arm was sound.

Through his first three starts, Ranaudo has 16 strikeouts, and two walks over 17 2/3 innings for Brewster. On Friday, he shut out Bourne over seven innings. The 39th overall pick by Boston, who by most accounts was a top-10 talent, now stands to make serious money.

?He?s a pretty accomplished young man. Strong, good, live fastball with a nice curveball and an emerging changeup,?? said one American League scout.
