on the move

After six years in the Detroit organization, former Ole Miss standout Justin Henry will get a change of scenery in 2013. Boston traded for the 27-year old outfielder on Thursday and it’s expected he’ll go to big-league camp with the Red Sox. Henry, drafted out of Ole Miss in 2007, couldn’t break through to The Show with the Tigers, despite hitting .293 for his career. The left-handed swinger, listed at 6 feet 3, 180 pounds, is not a power hitter; he has just four home runs as a pro. But he gets on base and can steal a bag (126 career). He spent last season at Triple-A Toledo, batting .300 with 38 RBIs, 72 runs and 22 steals. He should get a good look from a Red Sox club that needed to make some changes after a rough 2012 season.
