ST so Far

Well, we're in the midst of a never ending spring training it seems. Most of the Sox players have left for the WBC, so camp is a lot quieter I hear. Though some big news is that Jon Lester is on the brink of singing a 5 year expansion with a 2014 option. While this buys out 2-3 free agent years, paying Jon more than he would probably get during the arb. years is a very nice gesture from Theo and the Brass. When the Red Sox find a player they love, they make every effort to keep him it seems. In the WBC, Papi is off to a slow start with the Dominican. Pedroia is being very MVP, Bay is having a nice start with Team Canada. Youkilis is extremely impressive. I foresee him hitting 40-50 home runs and overall being a better player than Manny Ramirez. Also, in ST, some players trying to make a name are Nick Green and Brad Wilkerson. Green's hitting is amazing! with homers and avg. Wilkerson is displaying some of his power with 3 homers. We'll see how Wilkerson turns out. JD is also hitting well, and Lugo is trying to keep his job. Lowell returns to the lineup tomorrow as the Designated Hitter, and on Friday as the 3B.
27 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY!
