Sox get their man: Swap Hillenbrand for D’backs’ Kim

Grady Little says in this story that once Pedro returns and the starting rotation is set, he’ll move Kim to the closer spot.

And it appears that the call-up of Freddy Sanchez might dim the hopes of owners of Boston’s other infielders. Sanchez won’t get as much playing time as Hillenbrand, but the Red Sox didn’t promote him to sit. He’ll play second base against lefties, spell Nomar from time to time, and fill in at third.

He was a top prospect off to an excellent start this year in Pawtuckett, and well worth using to fill a hole in AL-only leagues.
