Junichi Tazawa was examined by Dr. James Andrews earlier this week and has a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Surgery is a possibility.
There are reports that the team has offered Josh Beckett a four-year contract extension. Beckett made his final start of the spring on Monday night against Tampa Bay (6-6-3-1-8, 94). He finished camp with 17 strikeouts in his last 11 innings.
Jon Lester makes his final start of the spring this afternoon.

Looks like surgery for Tazawa.
Cool bit of linescore for the Sox:
2 in the 2nd
3 in the 3rd
4 in the 4th
And Papelbon pitched to minor leaguers:
“It was just tough out there for me, the whole setting, getting ready to pitch,” Papelbon said. “Personally for me it was like throwing live BP. I still got great work in. ... You deal with a different way of life down here, man. It was like I was pitching in Zombieland. It was different and then the first two guys I faced I don't think their combined height was 6 feet. How am I supposed to throw a strike to these dudes?”
Awesome.

with the sour taste he must have in his mouth the way last year ended. I assumed he would come into this season a little less aloof...
