Baseball teams are made up of 25 players plus coaches and a manager and a big front office staff.  In a market like Boston in which every move is put under the microscope there are any number of stories to discuss, especially during Spring Training.  While there are other players who could have made this list, those coming back from injury or from poor performance on the field, or both, these five situations are the most crucial to the Red Sox right out of the gate.

When players start games, there are going to be injuries and this year has been no exception.  There are players who excel and players who struggle.  Sometimes those opposites happen for players in the same position, we call them roster battles here at BoSoxInjection.
