After rebuffing Bill Buckner's desire to become a Red Sox coach, Boston
has signed a Billy Buckner—the 29-year old right-handed pitcher. In four seasons (with three teams)
Buckner complied a 6.25 ERA (11.08 ERA in 2011).
Funny, The Mad Dentist (Dr. Charles Steinberg) was not trotted out to make a big announcement about this signing.
