Spring Training is About to Begin

Spring Training for the Boston Red Sox is about to begin. They will first play a few split squad matches against nearby college teams on Saturday. Then on Sunday, the Grapefruit league begins and so do the games for the mayoral cup. The mayoral cup is a few games against the Twin, who they share their spring training town with. After all the Red Sox vs. Twins games, the mayor awards the winning team. On Sunday against the Twins, Josh Beckett will be starting for a few innings. On Monday vs the Twins again, Daisuke Matsuzaka ( Dice-K) will be pitching for the Red Sox. Don't expect to see too many innings from them and don't expect to see all of the position players as they will take it easy to start Spring Training.
