The New (old) New Guy

Sporting Goods

So the Sox have gone out and acquired a left-handed reliever, in Mike Remlinger, without having to give up much at all. He can help offset the loss (and by loss, I mean complete lack of production and then actual physical loss) of Alan Embree as he is a lefty who is not just a lefty specialist.

Looking at his numbers, Remlinger has not been awful this year, as most relievers who are DFA'd generally are. However, in a disturbing trend, he has given up hits in his last 7 appearances, and has walked 5 in his last 2 1/3 innings. So we should not be expecting a bullpen savior.

That said, he did go to Dartmouth. Go Big Green!
