Red Sox pitching prospect Anthony Ranaudo was shut down during Puerto Rican Winter League play after aggravating a right groin injury on November 28.
Ranaudo dealt with groin issues during the season, as well, though the Red Sox don't think this latest aggravation is anything serious. A sandwich round pick in 2010, Ranaudo was limited to just 37 2/3 innings with Double-A Portland this year due to injury. The 23-year-old should return to Double-A to start 2013.

Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said pitching prospect Anthony Ranaudo is likely to open 2012 at Double-A.

Ranaudo, 22, posted a 3.97 ERA and 117/46 K/BB ratio in 127 innings last season between Low-A Greenville and High-A Salem. Those aren't lights-out numbers, but the Red Sox believe the righty is a high-level talent, capable of moving quickly through their farm system.

Red Sox pitching prospect Anthony Ranaudo has been promoted from Low-A Greenville to High-A Salem.

Ranaudo, a 21-year-old right-hander, posted a 4-1 record, 3.33 ERA, 50 strikeouts and only 14 walks in 46 innings for Greenville. He was a supplemental first-round pick in 2010 and should continue climbing quickly.

Red Sox signed compensatory first-round pick RHP Anthony Ranaudo.

He'll receive a signing bonus of $2.55 million, multiple times above the recommended slot level for the No. 39 pick. After his performance in the Cape Cod League, it's hard to say the 20-year-old right-hander isn't worth it. The Red Sox found themselves a potential steal here.

Red Sox draft pick Anthony Ranaudo finished his stint in the Cape Cod League this weekend with a 0.00 ERA over 29 2/3 innings.

That'll do, kid. Ranaudo is still weighing whether to return to LSU for another season or sign with the Red Sox, but his value couldn't be higher right now and we would be surprised if talks fail with Boston. The 6-foot-7 right-hander touches 95 MPH with his fastball and has a great curve.

Anthony Ranaudo, a still unsigned supplemental first-round pick by the Red Sox allowed an unearned run Thursday, but still has a 0.00 ERA after 29 2/3 innings in the Cape Cod League.

He struck out nine in six innings yesterday. Ranaudo reportedly wants to be paid like a top-10 pick, but he'd certainly seem to deserve it with the showing he's put on over the last month. "He's topped at 94, sitting 92-93, with an 82 mph curveball that had some great depth, and he's throwing a changeup pretty well," said his Cape Cod League coach, Tom Myers. "His mental makeup's off the charts, and the way he goes about his business, you know why he was selected so high." The Red Sox have until Aug. 16 to sign the 20-year-old out of LSU.

Red Sox draft pick RHP Anthony Ranaudo is weighing whether to return to Louisiana State University for his senior year.

The 39th overall pick in June's MLB Amateur Draft, Ranaudo stands 6-foot-7 and is considered a potential major league ace. The Red Sox would love to sign him, but he's highly loyal to LSU and it may take a massive contract to lure him away from college life. The 20-year-old right-hander is currently pitching for the Brewster Whitecaps of the wooden-bat Cape Cod League.
