Murphy to Pawtucket

The Red Sox just annnounced two moves (of two former Sea Dogs) that certainly were not a surprise. David Murphy was sent to Pawtucket, while Jeff Bailey was assigned to the minor league camp (Bailey will also go to Pawtucket).

There was no room for Murphy as the Red Sox already have five outfielders with Ramirez, Crisp, Drew, Pena and Eric Hinske; with Hinkse also available to play the corners. Bailey is a back-up outfielder and first-baseman.

Forgot to include the pitcher when I sent in the Red Sox lineup today. Guy named Schilling. Looks like he'll make the club.
