Red Sox pick up catcher from Colorado 03.29.11 at 8:50 pm ET
By WEEI

The Red Sox acquired catcher Mike McKenry from Colorado on Tuesday for righthanded reliever Daniel Turpen. McKenry, 26, hit .265 and caught 94 games at Triple-A Colorado Springs last year, and appeared in six games with the Rockies at the end of last season. Turpen, 24, an eighth-round pick of San Francisco in 2007, was originally acquired last year when Boston sent righty reliever Ramon Ramirez to the Giants. He was selected by the Yankees in the Rule V Draft during the winter, but was later returned to the Red Sox. He split time between the Giants’ and Red Sox’ organizations in 2010, finishing with a combined 4.50 ERA in 69 relief innings in Double-A.

    Is that the best you can do? What do you guys get paid for? How about a scouting report on this stiff?

  • Dano

    Why do you call him a stiff Jack? Too stoopid to use Google and find out for yourself? Just a preliminary report obviously.

    Nice pickup. McKenry has potential. We’ll see if he comes around. If he does, he’ll be a steal.

    This is a nice pick-up. It was obvious that Mark Wagner could never be a catcher at the major league level. This Mckenry kid already has major league experience and is very good defensively. If he can hit .around .270 with 14-15 homeruns a year and put down good fingers then that’s a huge assett to have.

    If they were so high on Salty why did they feel they needed to go get somebody else? Because they don’t believe in him that’s why. Seen all these predictions by just about everybody that the Red Sox will win it all this year, how did that work out last year? Did anybody have the Giants i doubt it. These so called experts couldn’t pick there nose.
    I see the Red Sox having major problems all over the place, They only have 2 good starting pitcher’s there bullpen is brand new, there closer sucks, 4 players are coming off major injuries, they have no right handed power. Drew and Ortiz can hit left handed pitcher’s. I see them falling flat on there faces

    McKenry is a stiff. If they wanted to trade with Colorado they should have picked up local boy and real prospect Chris Iannetta.
