Roche: 3 Highly Motivated Red Sox
FORT MYERS, Fla (CBS) -- Following a last place finish last season, the Boston Red Sox are a highly motivated bunch as spring training hits full swing down in Florida.
That is evident at the amount of players who reported for duty early -- as of Saturday only Allen Craig and David Ortiz were left to report -- and are already putting in a lot of hard work.
But WBZ-TV's Dan Roche brings us three members of the team who are motivated more than anyone:
1. John Farrell
He has a new contract extension, and is motivated to prove his doubters wrong after a last-place finish in 2014.
2. Dustin Pedroia
The second baseman is healthy, and ready to return to form.
3. Pablo Sandoval
He has a nice five-year contract, but Panda is even more motivated after those unflattering photos of him published earlier this week.
Check out Rochie's thoughts in the video above, and stay tuned for more from Fort Myers throughout the week!
