Two Minor Moves

The Boston Red Sox added 2 more names to their farm system for 2011 - Catcher Max Ramirez & RHP Tony Armas, Jr.

Ramirez was the other player from Texas that was coming to Boston in the Mike Lowell trade. Obviously, that trade didn't happen & Lowell got to retire as a Red Sox. Put that under the category of everything happens for a reason. Ramirez is another catcher that the Sox can evaluate in their mix of backstop resources.

Tony Pena, Jr. is the son of former Red Sox catcher Tony Pena, Sr. Pena was an infielder until he converted to become a relief pitcher last year. He brings another young arm to evaluate into the system.

As most coaches know, you can never have enough pitching & catching. We'll see if either kid makes an impact in the Sox future.
