Spring Training - Week 1

The first week of Spring training has gone well. The only blemish was a hit in the head to Josh Beckett. He appears fine with no lasting effects. Beckett is pitching a side session today & hopefully will stay on track for the rest of March.

Other quick observations:

- the starting pitchers are getting their work in

- the starting position players are getting some work in

- the bullpen looks strong as anticipated

- Big Papi is hitting the ball well

- Adrian will get his 30 at bats in later during Spring Training

- looks like lots of options for the last spot or two in the bullpen

- same for the last spot or two for bench players

The Sox & Yankees tangle tonight for the first time. No doubt there will be a sell-out crowd, even in March. They still are the best rivalry in all of sports.

Overall, a good week #1 in the books.
