Daily Red Sox Links: Rick Porcello, Alex Cora, Terry Francona

The starting rotation of the Boston Red Sox could be really good this season. Here’s how the coaching staff will go about making that a reality. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe)

A major contributor to that rotation will be Rick Porcello, who got through three innings in his first appearance of the spring on Sunday. (Mark Feinsand; MLB.com)
