Full rotation makes Sox a ‘tough sell' to veterans

Share

PROVIDENCEWith the five spots in the rotation claimedby left-handers Jon Lester and Felix Doubront, and righties Clay Buchholz, John Lackey, and Ryan Dempsterand lefty Franklin Morales and right-hander Alfredo Aceves as potential fill-ins, it may be difficult to find pitching depth with established veterans.

Certainly when you have two wide-open spots its an easier sell, said Cherington. But theres advantages to being in a camp like the Red Sox, too, because you know that people are going to be watching and hopefully its going to be a good environment for a pitcher whos trying to get ready for the regular season. They want to be in an environment where they can do that and theyre going to have all the resources that theyre going to need and hopefully we provide that. So well see. I dont think it's a necessity that we add someone but if we can we may do that.
