Victorino In, Castillo Out
That's the latest report from the Fort & the Red Sox website. John Farrell said earlier in March that Shane Victorino is his starting right-fielder if he is healthy. And Victorino is breaking camp healthy, so it appears that Rusney Castillo draws the short straw, going to Pawtucket until one of the starting outfielders - Ramirez, Betts, Victorino - gets injured. Even David Ortiz backed up the manager's choice of Victorino saying that the Flyin' Hawaiian gets hurts because of the way he plays & he plays hurt a lot. Big Papi says that Vic is someone you want in your lineup & as a teammate because he helps you to win. That's pretty big praise from #34. Rusney did all he could to impress & he did just that with his bat, glove & arm. It won't be long before the Cuban outfielder is called up. Too many good players - what a great problem for the manager!
