I've been following the Pan Am Games (and Jeff Bianchi is playing well for the USA) and former Phillie Phillipe Aumont is on the Canadian squad. He elected for free agency on 6/24 after the Phillies outrighted him to Lehigh Valley. He had already been chosen for Team Canada before he left the Phillies. This past Sunday he started for Canada against Nicaragua, throwing 5 innings of shutout ball, walking two and striking out eight. I have seen him pitch and his overall won-loss record doesn't tell the whole story. He has a high strikeout ratio and I would like to see us sign him to a PawSox contract. We'd have nothing to lose by giving a look-see. Keep in mind that he was Seattle's #1 pick in the 2007 draft and when the Phillies sent Cliff Lee to Seattle before the 2009 season, they demanded Aumont as part of the deal. I'd give him a shot.

Aumont had another great game yesterday in the semi-finals, Eight innings, no runs, three hits, a walk and 8 Ks.
