Huijer and Parthemore released
According to SoxProspects Digital Correspondent Jonathan Singer on Twitter, the Red Sox have released right-handed pitchers Swen Huijer and Renny Parthemore.
Huijer, 21, was signed as an international free agent in the spring of 2008. After spending his first three professional seasons as a member of the Rookie-Gulf Coast League Red Sox, Huijer compiled a 2.43 ERA in 14 relief appearances as a member of the Short-Season A Lowell Spinners last season.
Parthemore, 20, was originally drafted by Boston in 18th round of the 2009 amateur draft out of Cedar Cliff High School in Pennsylvania. His professional career has been derailed by injuries, causing him to miss the entire 2010 season. He made his professional debut as a member of the Gulf Coast League Red Sox in 2011, compiling a 3.30 ERA in 14 relief appearances.
