BOSTON -- The bounce in Blake Swihart's step these days is real, not just a figure of speech.
The catcher -- yes, he said to keep calling him a catcher -- is at last healthy again, and he feels primed to play his way back onto the radar this season.
Swihart was one of the most enthusiastic participants of the Red Sox's annual Winter Weekend, simply because he feels like himself again.
"Awesome," Swihart said of his offseason. "[I'm] finally feeling healthy, and I'm excited for Spring Training."
Out of Minor League options, Swihart looks forward to playing his way back onto the depth chart.
