One Week Until Opening Day

The Red Sox have had a good spring camp. All questions, other than the last roster spot between Carter & Bailey, have been answered.

- Ortiz, Lowell & Drew are healthy. Youk & Pedroia are over their minor injuries. Lugo is back in camp.

- The starting pitchers have their rotation down. Penny gets the 5th spot for now. Buchholz & Smoltz are waiting for their turns.

- The bullpen is solid. Tito has several options to bridge the 7th & 8th to Pap in the 9th.

- Varitek & Kotteras will handle the catching. I still think a trade is possible by mid-year.

Players are ready. Fans are ready. The countdown to the 2009 season is on.
