This league is just starting

The Red Sox are done, but it's not over for all the players in the Red Sox organization.

The Arizona Fall League began Tuesday, and the Red Sox had good representation with the Mesa Solar Sox.

Jose Iglesias, 19, the Cuban shortstop recently signed to a major league contract, went 2-for-4 with a double and RBI ... Outfielder Ryan Kalish went 1-for-4 with a RBI.

Randor Bierd started and pitched three hitless innings (1 BB, 1 K), needing only 31 pitches ... Chris Province pitched one inning (1 K) and Dustin Richardson pitched two innings (1 H, 3 K).

Bierd, 25, is the pitcher the Red Sox got from the Orioles in the David Pauley trade. Bierd, who pitched in 29 games for Balitmore in 2008, made only 25 appearances with Pawtucket this year (4.55 ERA).

 

Kevin covers baseball for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. He first reported on spring training games for the St. Petersburg Times in 1978. He wisely moved to Maine in 1994 and now writes about the Portland Sea Dogs and Boston Red Sox — when he's not coaching Little League baseball.

He is married to Nancy, and the couple recently completed their lineup card with the birth of their ninth child.
