We are just one day away now before the start of spring training games for the Boston Red Sox. For those who have NESN, you’ll be able to catch the Red Sox take on the Minnesota Twins tomorrow night.

Things remain quiet in Ft. Myers as the biggest news of the day yesterday was the fact that Jonathan Papelbon and Brad Penny threw pain free live batting practice sessions yesterday. I’m sure as the games start, the news will become more plentiful especially as the battle at shortstop between Jed Lowrie and Julio Lugo starts to take shape.
