FORT MYERS, Fla. -- How do Boston Red Sox pitchers feel about working with catcher Christian Vazquez?
“He’s good back there,” Clay Buchholz said. “You don’t have to worry about bouncing a pitch. You know he’s going to block it if he’s anywhere in the vicinity.”
Said Rick Porcello: “The way he catches the ball, he’s easy to build chemistry with. He’s throwing the ball harder back to me than I am to him.”
And from Joe Kelly: “It’s fun having him back there. His hands are awesome.
