The Red Sox on Saturday, according to the proverbial multiple reports, signed 32 year old journeyman right hander Denny Bautista to a minor league deal. Inked by the then-Florida Marlins out of the Dominican Republic in 2000, Bautista has seen major league time with seven teams pitching (2004-2010) in 131 games (21 starts) posting a 5.88 ERA (4.69 FIP). His last major league time was with the World Champion San Francisco Giants in 2010, posting a 3.74 ERA (4.68 FIP) in 33.2 innings, walking 27 batters while striking out 44. He did not pitch in that postseason.
