The Bullpen - And Roster - Is Set

The Opening Day bullpen:
Koji Uehara
Junichi Tazawa
Andrew Miller
Edward Mujica
Burke Badenhop
Chris Capuano
Brandon Workman
(Craig Breslow and Steven Wright begin the season on the disabled list.)

The rest of the roster:
SP: Jon Lester, John Lackey, Felix Doubront, Jake Peavy, Clay Buchholz

DH: David Ortiz

C: A.J. Pierzynski, David Ross

INF: Mike Napoli, Dustin Pedroia, Xander Bogaerts, Will Middlebrooks, Jonathan Herrera

OF: Daniel Nava, Grady Sizemore, Shane Victorino, Jonny Gomes, Mike Carp
Fun Fact: Bogaerts is the youngest Red Sox Opening Day shortstop (21 years, 181 days) since Everett Scott (21 years, 146 days) in 1914.

The Red Sox finish their spring training schedule today with a game against the Twins. They are off tomorrow and begin the season on Monday afternoon in Baltimore.

The Deacon! He's one of my faves from 1918.

(You all know 1918, right? Allan's first book...?)

I am so up for this season and this team. The only tough part for me is how many games I'll have to miss because of my work schedule.
