Daily Red Sox Spring Training Update

Here is everything you need to know from the Red Sox camp.

- Red Sox today acquired right-handed pitcher Miguel Celestino from Seattle, completing the January 7 trade that sent first baseman Casey Kotchman to the Mariners in exchange for infielder Bill Hall and cash.

Mets 4 Red Sox 2

- Lackey threw another scoreless 4 innings.In nine combined innings this spring, Lackey has not allowed a run (earned or unearned), or issued a walk. Not a bad way to start the season.

- Ortiz went 1-3. After a terrible start to spring Ortiz have been able to lift his batting average to .231. I know that doesn't sounds great, but compared to what it was it is kind of impressive.

- All the Sox pitchers played well until Ramon Ramirez came into the game and let up 4 runs in the 8th. He had been good this spring, but he was flat out terrible.


As for the start of the season. It is getting time to think about what the roster will look like. Boston.com did a nice little write up on it, and I tend to agree with it...

Dice-K will start the season on the DL, so that is why Wakefield is on there. Lowrie is still out, and I honestly hope he doesn't come back.
