According to
The Providence Journal's Tim Britton,
Brock Holt—and not Rusney Castillo—may have the inside track on being Boston's Opening Day left-fielder. Manager
John Farrell has stated that Holt could see "a good number of at-bats" in left—and he is, in fact, starting there tonight against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It looks as if
Dave Dombrowski—free of any ties to old contracts—truly is making the 2016 Red Sox a meritocracy. Way to go, Dave!
