The search continues for low-cost pitching help.

Sox GM Ben Cherington and Allard Baird are still trying to come up with more options to bring into spring training along with Carlos Silva, Aaron Cook, Jason Germano and others.

Still plenty of low-cost guys out there.

They include, Brandon Webb, Scott Kazmir, Armando Galarraga, Jon Garland, Rich Harden, Clay Hensley, Livan Hernandez, Brad Penny, Joel Pineiro, Jeff Francis and Zach Duke, Bartolo Colon and Tim Wakefield.

The Sox have also hired Randy Niemann to be their coaching assistant. He used to be on Bobby Valentine's Mets staff in trhe late 90s.
