[0:00]" It is spring training time a sure sign that will a couple of things actually that winner can't be that far from being over. And at the Red Sox are going to be making headlines is particularly some Red Sox including. J. D. Drew and joining us from Fort Myers and from Red Sox spring training. Is that channel four's the Red Sox beat reporter Dan Roche sold according to the headline and Harold look who's hurt. TV shows up -- problems with his back in his wrist."
[0:30]" Yeah. You know surprise but then if you think about it not a surprise it's kind of been the theme of J. D. Drew in Canada. Red Sox uniform when he's healthy he's a great ballplayer but that's the question how often is he going to be -- before in you could be disappointed everyone involved that the reflects into the spring training camp try to be relatively. We quiet you know an -- Manny Ramirez has gone in. You know locker chili is great pitcher but he acknowledged that he and I think there -- ago. The opposite direction here at night got a little bit of a problem here -- drew not a good start. If you trying to get back to where you want to be in the --"
[1:06]" The but the Red Sox do have enough depth in the outfield recovering. At least to part of the season -- badly hurt --"
[1:13]" Really do I mean obviously the I think it was kind of not big news. Laid out there I've thought a lot of Coco Crisp to tip city was a great defensive ballplayer for the in the last several years -- I think that art we've got Rocco Baldelli who hoped to overcome a channel -- but the problem which is awful -- And be a little bit more consistent player and it looked like -- JD got out of probably the back in after after the and it that. That Rocco Baldelli that emerges the bigger bigger players speak on here but in my mind he was also a charity Jacoby Ellsbury struggled -- of -- so. -- And compete in depth there but the question -- and not dispatch Steve GD problem as long term."
[1:51]" let me ask about the infield and -- complete short."
[1:54]" That's a great question you know I think. In most people's minds it was jet Lowery was going to be the starting shortstop about the way people formerly was called up aptitude in all through the playoffs but. Apparently look Julio Lugo impressed his manager and it is government can't be terrific shape fighting for a job after really losing the seat with a lot of injuries so. I think what we're going to see it is a pretty good battle throughout the spring and I think very current global look what all said and -- it product to determine who the bad guy is for it -- the other -- ability out overall. Remember you got -- logo for two years and eighteen million dollars so I think they're going to give them a long hard look at the -- in emerge as the starting shortstop PP. Capable that it -- up playing while."
[2:34]" Danny for people who have been playing hot stove league baseball and the dreaming about this spring training over the winner tell us about the Red Sox pitchers should picture changes this year."
[2:43]" Well I think they've got you know maybe about stabbed one through twelve I've seen you know coming into spring training you got you know job expected to be in its first couple bullpen sessions of strong like the -- seven back it would break I'm -- won twenty games with daughter of the -- meter race. Jon Lester is one they would come what he could project could be after the -- out last -- city don't want to electorate. Back in the -- get Daisuke won eighteen games last year -- the Ari on the street that was really under the radar we all looked like he walked the tightrope. And that in the fourth spot at the battery Tim Wakefield. And that Brad Penny probably start coming from the Dodgers struggled last year well before that wants sixteen games in in note seven editor out sick so he could potentially be a guy and that's as well as John Smoltz who joined them in June not after -- he's still the search I think he'd be Curt Schilling. In -- it happened post decent. And the Oprah distraught for apple all the way through got premier Ramon Ramirez keep that up guy who came near Coco Crisp in the hit the city straight. And then you got some veterans back like Delcarmen and that the -- and another kid out there. A lot adaptable lot -- BG meant Lopez so I think they're very good at its -- into the break."
[3:51]" And -- going to be throwing two the captain Jason Varitek. Is as likely to be his last run as the Red Sox and out just how much -- get Adam offensively this year."
[4:02]" Well I think he'd determined and you know what I notice from from they want protected he. He's hitting like he's been hitting all these -- all off these along I think he's determined to approve the that critics wrong Cumberland about backseat and annual outlook for at least this year and he's got an option of the Red Sox have an option for next year so he said he wants the retired -- like uniforms so. You'll probably outlook for two years I think he'd like the -- beyond not so. I would protect have a big bounce back seat -- the what thing I noticed that in uniting Red Sox fans questioning. How he would be yeah out -- would be coming -- and you know make it ten million -- to make five million this year. He's as happy as I've ever seen -- coming at the camps so I think he's looking forward to a big deep -- and not the good side for a."
[4:44]" That is may be anathema but I have to ask you about the Yankees who have built a lineup. Which is overpowering."
[4:51]" It certainly outweigh -- no question. It'll -- the acquisition of Mark -- not only did they get a guy like that for the next eight years. Could be at number three -- but they also took away from the often -- like which didn't didn't help the socket so. Not to fault there and the other -- that they get PC about the other and not AJ Burnett to go along with sending along its all the good pitchers so. They've got a very good team Mike question that is Mariano Rivera had offseason shoulder the surgery he says he'll be moderated opening day but the ball and to me the question for the Yankees. And the bull that is the question for -- for the Tampa Bay Rays -- threats -- up one big advantage they -- but on the that the wide open race the American League east which makes a lot of thought."
[5:32]" Alex Rodriguez is having a news conference tomorrow in which he apparently is going to make a public apology or answer more questions or do something regarding his. Admission of taking -- controlled and banned substances he says only for a three year period several years ago. -- the Yankees if they want to -- they would want to exercises but do they not have. -- wait to get some of the money back that they promised him or perhaps even two to cut him loose with -- a morals clause or something in his contract. And if he did -- the Red Sox be interested in Iran."
[6:05]" I don't think they have that that possibility only because you know his is that mission and you know testing positive came from. Eight when -- they weren't there are no penalties under the collective bargaining agreement -- testing positive it was just read a survey. It forced ruling later and also even the Texas Rangers -- so he's been signed with the Yankees that -- clean in between with the Yankees so I don't think -- he get any of their money back politically cut him loose. -- because of that fact and the guy has put up MVP like numbers last couple years slightly that they would want to hold on element you know is the question of would you be available for the Red Sox you know like the -- but could not already been there done that with a rod. Back -- so I think that they're pretty happy not having any more distraction -- camp they had enough for that I think last year with it."
