Red Sox face depth shortage despite strong lineup
Boston manager Joe McCarthy cites bench weakness as the club’s Achilles heel over the past two seasons. The Red Sox pursue a better outfielder, dependable reserve infielder, catching depth, relief pitcher, and pinch hitter while adding 10 possible relievers including Schenz, Gillespie, Nixon, McDonald, Suchecski, Littlefield, Mueller, Paim, Copeland, and Papai to bolster the pitching staff. Wright hits .348 with 202 hits for Louisville last year.

WVIAC Adopts Two Minute Rule For Tourney
The WVIAC will implement a two minute rule change in basketball effective Friday. Fouling an offensive player in the last two minutes grants two free throws. a foul on a defender yields one free throw and the ball remains in play on missed free throws. The old rule allowed a team to inbound after a foul on the fouled player. Buckhannon officials note tournament drawings set for February 26 with entries due February 18 as four teams in standings will be seeded for March 8-9.
