Sox Officially sign six as Non-Roster Invitees
Within the last couple of days, the Red Sox have officially signed six players to minor league contracts and will report to Spring Training as non-roster invitees. Mostly seen as depth in case of the inevitable injury, the six players are:
Fernando Cabrera (RHP): Probably has the most major-league potential of the group, the 6'4" Cabrera has very good stuff, including a low-mid 90's fastball with good sink on it and an above-average split-change. Underwent elbow surgery last year, but came back and threw well in the Puerto Rican Winter League, picking up 12 saves while only giving up 12 hits in 22.1 innings and posting a 23 K/6 BB ratio.
