This spring will not be planes, trains, and automobiles in Florida for the Boston Red Sox, but arms and knees will present the subtext for the next several weeks. Much of the season will depend upon how these skeletal hinges perform. Each spring special note is the first category and that is arms the delicate conditions they reflect. Just who will suddenly strut around the ballyard with an appendage hanging like a wet noodle?
Last spring it was lefty Drew Pomeranz who went lame with a flexor muscle, but things just deteriorated for Pomeranz after that visit to the disabled list.
