4 Red Sox who desperately needed a hot start to spring training (and got one)
Spring training is underway for the Boston Red Sox, and with the team’s uber-talented lineup, few roster spots are up for grabs.
There are multiple position battles occurring across the Red Sox’s roster this spring, and manager Alex Cora has said they’ll take the best 26 players to open the season in Arlington, TX on March 27. Everyone from prospects to veterans is playing for their roster spot this year, and a few Sox are already sticking out above the others in their position.
With that in mind, here are four players who have gotten off to a much-needed hot start.

Luis Guerrero
Luis Guerrero, a top prospect, made his major league debut with the Red Sox last season. In a limited sample size, the flamethrowing reliever got off to a hot start, striking out nine batters in 10 innings while allowing just six hits and two walks.
While some had the right-hander making the team out of camp, it was clear that he needed a good spring to solidify his spot in the bullpen. While it is still early, the reliever has gotten off to a great start, allowing just two total batters (one walk and one hit) and striking out six in three innings of work.
