The Red Sox today traded slick-fielding, no-hit shortstop Christian Lara (bench player for Single-A Lancaster) to the Los Angeles Dodgers for 28-year old righty Eric Hull. Hull had earlier been designated for assignment and is extra pitching depth for the Red Sox, as they lost Kyle Snyder when Josh Beckett was re-activated and will lose another pitcher once Mike Timlin returns.
Hull had 6.2 innings for the Dodgers last year with a 4.03 ERA, four hits, three walks and five strikeouts. He spent most of the year at Triple-A where he had a 2.74 ERA in 65.7 IP (81 K, 26 BB, 59 H). He could see some time in the pen later this year via injury.

How bout the game thread? It’s 11:45am and fans are already spending their hard earned money at Fenway right now…
Anybody have any ideas on who’s throwing out the first pitch?
Cocos in the lineup again, I hope he goes 4-4 against Rogers and finds himself on a plane to his new team by midnight. On the other hand, a 4-4 performance might convince Theo to keep him around for the time being, just what we need…
Okay, okay. I was gonna wait longer, but FINE. You’ll have your thread.
