Not a lot of stuff going on today at the Red Sox spring training. Some more pitchers showed up today (Wakefield/Lopez), and Josh Beckett and Jon Lester threw their first bullpen sessions today. Last spring there was a lot of talk that Beckett was really out of shape, but from the reports I have been reading it seems like he is in much better condition this year. I really believe in DP's theory that Beckett is good every other year, and this could be another sign of that being true.
"Throwing to catcher Dusty Brown, Beckett tossed about 55 pitches over 20 minutes. For those interested in Beckett's physical appearance (the subject of much discussion last spring), he looks in good shape (Boston.com)."
One can only hope that he is ready to go this year...
