Johnson & Castillo Look Good for PawSox

The crowd at McCoy Stadium was there to see future Red Sox CF Rusney Castillo. Not only did they see Rusney play the first 9 innings, the crowd also got introduced to Brian Johnson, a lefty pitcher who has risen through the ranks to earn 1 post-season start at AAA. Johnson did not disappoint as he gave up only 2 runs over 6+ innings in an extra innings loss. We know that Rusney will be with the big club once the Pawtucket season has ended. But remember the name of Brian Johnson as another one of those promising young arms - grouped with Owens, Barnes, Ranaudo, Workman, De La Rosa, Escobar, Webster, etc., etc. Lots & lots of arms will be used this off season with surplus outfielders to bring in proven starting pitchers to the rotation &/or can be traded to miami to land the biggest catch of all, Giancarlo Stanton. Add Johnson's name to this list.
