We hardly knew ye.

To make room for González on the 40-man major league roster, the Sox, as expected, designated first baseman Roberto Petagine for assignment, which gives the club maneuvering room while trying to work out a deal in the next seven days for Petagine.

Roberto Petagine is probably the third best hitter in the organization, and has been since he signed. That he never got a real shake to log regular playing time will always represent a black mark on Sox management as far as I am concerned. He leaves now while John Flaherty occupies a spot on this roster, a fitting end to Petagine’s mismanaged time as a Boston Red Sox. Anyway, good luck to him…wherever he plays this year, you can bet he’ll hit. Remember this when Tito is straight platooning J.T. Snow come mid-May or so.
