With Spring Training in full effect, here are a few intersting tidbits so far from Fort Meyers.
Clay Buchholz slated for the #2 rotation spot. Source: Boston Herald
It looks like the Red Sox rotation is starting to take shape, with John Farrell telling the media that Clay Buchholz is slated to be the number 2 starter at the moment. This lines up with what I said in my rotation projection, and would be a good move, assuming that he can stay healthy. Right now, I have him going 7-4, but his health is going to be a factor for the Red Sox if they want make the postseason.
David Ortiz and David Price make nice. Source: ESPN One of the big questions chemistry-wise was how David Ortiz and David Price would deal with their past rivalry, but it does appear that they both put it behind them and are ready for the 2016 season. In past seasons, especially when Price played for the division rival Tampa Bay Rays, he and Ortiz would really go at it, but the past is the past, or so it would seem on the surface. Chemistry is important, and both guys' willingness to put their beef behind them is important. They'll both be important for the team, and they can't let that stuff get in the way.
Pablo Sandoval says he dropped 6% body fat. Source: Fox Sports Probably the biggest story line so far is Pablo Sandoval's weight. He didn't drop the 20 pounds that manager John Farrell said he did, but he did drop 6% body fat on Wednesday, bringing him down to 17 percent from 23 percent. I hope this means he'll improve, because I've talked about this issue, and I'm going to need to see a lot more from Sandoval than I saw last season into this off-season. I sincerly hope he proves me wrong.
