The Red Sox announced Friday the 20 non-roster invitees who will take part in
Major League Spring Training in Fort Myers, Fla., later this month.
At least one or two bullpen spots are expected to be up for an open
competition this spring, and with that in mind, Boston invited 10 non-roster
pitchers, consisting of right-handers Randor Bierd, Fernando Cabrera, Casey
Kelly, Adam Mills, Edwin Moreno, Joe Nelson, Jorge Sosa and Kyle Weiland, as
well as lefties Kris Johnson and Brian Shouse.
Also heading to camp will be catchers Luis Exposito and Gustavo Molina;
infielders Lars Anderson, Yamaico Navarro, Angel Sanchez and Gil Velazquez;
and outfielders Zach Daeges, Ryan Kalish, Che-Hsuan Lin and Darnell McDonald.
Half of those invited to camp have previous Major League experience,
including Cabrera, Velazquez -- both of whom saw action with the Red Sox in
2009 -- Bierd, McDonald, Molina, Moreno, Nelson, Sanchez, Shouse and Sosa.
But perhaps the most intriguing player to watch will be Kelly, the 2008
first-round Draft pick who has given up shortstop in order to pitch
full-time.
Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report on Feb. 18, and their first
on-field workout will come two days later. The Red Sox's first full-squad
workout is slated for Feb. 24.
All workouts take place at the team's Player Development Complex, located at
4301 Edison Avenue in Fort Myers. The team will then move its spring
operations to City of Palms Park when Grapefruit League games begin on March
3.
