Boston manager Eddie Kasko argues for changes after last season’s pennant drought. He cites pitching depth with six viable starters, the need for Vasquez, Cooper or Fiore at first, and catching shifts, while noting last year's .254 Vasquez average and weak catching. The team may pivot from lefty heavy lineups to improve against the Orioles.
