10. What kids will be worth watching in camp?
Buchholz and Ellsbury are still rookies, but it's almost as if they're known commodities already. Your time will be well spent this spring charting the progress of a couple more promising young pitchers, Justin Masterson and Michael Bowden. The Sox put a kid shortstop, Argenis Diaz, on the 40-man roster, who played last season in Class A Greenville. He'll be an early cut, but the Sox love his glove. With any luck, the Sox might invite Lars Anderson, a slugging first baseman who played Class A last season, for a sneak preview in one of the spring games. Infielder Jed Lowrie (pictured), who is close to big-league ready, will also be fighting to make an impression.
