FORT MYERS, Fla. -- As the Red Sox sent $217-million ace David Price to the mound for the first time in a game situation late Saturday morning, there were no fielders at the lefty's back and no spectators in the JetBlue Park stands.
There will be plenty of chances in the months and years ahead for Red Sox Nation to watch how Price performs in front of a packed house with the game on the line.
What Saturday's simulated game provided was a glimpse at Price's focus and precision at such an early stage of Spring Training.
