One Week Until Opening Day

Spring Training is dragging on for this final week before Verlander & Lester go at it next Thursday. It's a long, very long, last week for the players as they are ready to go by now. Rem Dawg always thought 2 weeks was plenty of time to get ready. Heck, Andy Pettitte may pitch in a game this week after 1 week of conditioning & throwing.

For a few players their roles will finally be determined by the time the Sox break camp. Bobby V. has to figure out:

- Who are my 4th & 5th starters in the rotation?

- Who will make up the bullpen?

- Which extra players will he take to round out the 25-man roster? infielder? outfielder? more pitchers?

We should know the answers to these questions by the end of the weekend. It's time to get the real games started.
