Sox 4, Rays 2

Nice day for Clay Buccholz, Grady Sizemore & Will Middlebrooks. Buck went deep into the game. Sizemore & Middlebrooks each homered. And spring training is another day closer to being over. Grady Sizemore will play back to back to back days to test his endurance. If he has no setbacks, Grady looks to be the starting CF on Monday in Baltimore. JBJ can still benefit from more at-bats in AAA & he will be ready for a call-up if Grady fails to stay healthy or fails to perform. Another story is Will Middlebrooks who looks to have won back his old job at 3B. Will has 3 homers in the pre-season, so his power bat is back. I think he is a work in progress on his defense though, so we take the good with the bad. Everyone is itchy to get the real season started now in 5 days - players, coaches & fans. No last minute injuries, please.
