Kevin Millar? Brian Fuentes? Mark Teixeira? I guess it's July during the baseball season because there are a lot of names being bandied about in Red Sox trade rumors, and most of them don't make even a little bit of sense. While I sift through all of this and try to discern the correct from the erroneous and the pure ridiculous, here's some info on the Olde Towne Team from the good people of Inside Edge Scouting Services.

Also, supplemential first round pick Nick Hagadone made his debut with Lowell last night, and the results were, ah, not good.

ORG LVL PITCHER                         IP  H  R  ER  BB  SO  ERA

BOS SS  Hagadone, Nick  .............  1.1  6  5   5   1   1 33.75 - L (0-1)

Also here's your Daily Dose of Red Sox Nation...I always knew Chewbacca was a lefty specialist before he gave it all up to co-pilot the Millenium Falcon.
