We are now somehow only nine days away from Opening Day for the Red Sox (eight days from Opening Day for MLB), which seems hard to believe. I think the lack of spring training games is what is making this season seem like it’s coming out of nowhere, obviously along with, well, everything else in the world. Still, the lack of a real spring training schedule is making the way we look at the start of the season different as well. Typically, this close to the start of the season, we’d be knee deep in debates about who will play how much at every position.
