FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Here are the pitchers -- all relievers -- for Thursday’s exhibitions against Northeastern (Game 1) and Boston College (Game 2). It will be a conventional double-header, unlike years past, when it was a day-night affair, and will offer both games for full price (in years past, it was half price for each game).
Vs. Northeastern:
Anthony Carter
Vs. Boston College:
Oscar Villareal
Terry Doyle
Jose De La Torre
Manager John Farrell said he’d like to get in an inning each for his pitchers in the two seven-inning games (though there were eight pitchers listed for the first game and six for the second). Most position players, he said, should all get two at-bats. The Sox will bring in extra minor leaguers to play in the latter innings.
