In the seventh round the Red Sox selected University of North Carolina catcher Timothy Federowicz with their first pick on day 2. Federowicz, a native of Apex, NC is a 3 year starter for the Tar Heels. The 5'10 213 pound catcher played in 61 games in 2008. He hit .304 for the season while hitting 4 home runs and knocking in 39 RBI. In his freshman season of 2006 he was one of the nation's top catchers when he hit 12 home runs and drove in 65 runs while hitting .320. Federowicz also pitched for the Tar Heels in both 2007 and 2008 out of the bullpen. Should Federowicz sign he will likely begin 2008 with the Lowell Spinners.
