FORT MYERS, Fla. – Six weeks in the past at Fenway Fest, Alex Cora stated he was having a tough time envisioning his regular-season batting order.
“I’m not there but, to be sincere with you,” the Red Sox manager said on the time. “Often, I’ve a fairly good thought round this time (within the offseason), what we’re gonna do, however actually, I do not know. I believe we’ve got to attend and see what the roster is gonna appear like… And we get there once we get there, however for the primary time in years, I actually don’t know the way we’re gonna do it.”
Quick-forward to Sunday and the beginning 9 for the primary Pink Sox dwelling sport of Grapefruit League play may very well be a preview of the actual factor.
“I simply felt that’s a great way to set it up,” Cora stated throughout his day by day media session. “However yeah, it’s one thing I’ve envisioned and it simply occurred that for the primary time in years, what you may see early is what you’re most likely going to see on Opening Day.”
