Sox Add Minor League Reliever Through Waivers

By Administrator | November 20, 2009

The Red Sox selected RHP Robert Manuel off waivers from the Seattle Mariners.

Manuel made his major league debut with the Cincinnati Reds this season after toiling for the Reds’ Louisville Bats (Triple-A) for much of the season… he was 3-4, 2.70, with 10 saves over 46 2/3 IP in the International League.

At the end of July, he was traded to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for OF Wladimir Balentien… he then finished the season with Triple-A Tacoma (Pacific Coast League), where he went 1-1, 3.32, with four saves in 15 appearances.

Baseball America ranked Manuel as the Reds #27 prospect last winter… here are a couple of excerpts from their scouting report:

“When scouts watch Manuel pitch, they just shake their heads. He rears back and throws 88-90 mph fastballs at hitters who are looking for fastballs. Yet time after time, they walk back to the dugout disappointed. Scouts can’t explain it, but they can’t quibble with the results.”

“Manuel’s delivery is compact and he manages to hide the ball for a long time… his fastball seems to have a little hop to it at the plate, even if he lacks above-average velocity… he can spot (the fastball) to all four quadrants of the plate.”
