Sox minor leaguers begin spring-training games
While the players in major league camp enjoyed a day off on Wednesday, their teammates over on the minor-league side commenced their spring schedule with each club facing the affiliates of the Minnesota Twins. After the jump, you will find the full minor league schedule.
Noted on the schedule is whether the Triple-A and Double-A teams, or the High A, Low A, and Short-Season A teams are at home. Early on, many players will see action a level or two higher than they are expected to begin the regular season, since much of the actual Pawtucket lineup is in MLB camp. Hence, the "Portland" roster on a given day, particularly early on in camp, could be comprised mostly of players who will begin the year in Salem. Once more players are sent down from major league camp, which sits at 51 players after the Red Sox' latest cuts, minor league camp will begin to shape into what we should expect come April, but for now these teams will be far different from what we will see during the season.
For our readers planning a trip to the minor league complex, note that all games begin at 1:00 p.m.
