Snyder Designated for Assignment

Kyle Snyder, the Sox' mop-up man for most of the 2007 season, has been designated for assignment. He is out of team options, so it appears his tenure with the team has come to an end, though no official word has come from the team.

The roster spot had to be cleared to make room for Josh Beckett.

Snyder pitched well last season, but he struggled this spring and in the two appearances he made this season.

I was surprised at this move, thinking that the victim of the roster squeeze would be Bryan Corey or David Aardsma.
