The 2018 season is here!

The rotation for Fridays 3-Game series vs. Creighton (Big East) at the Red Sox old spring training facility City of Palms Park in Ft. Myers.

Friday Sr. RHP Brian Christian

Saturday Jr. RHP Tyler Brown

Sunday Soph LHP Sean Mellen

The bullpen should be very good with Brian Rodríguez, Andrew Misiaszek (who could also start), Kyle Murphy, Tyler Robinson.

One tidbit, the Friday starter for Creighton, Ryan Tapani, is the son of former Mets and Twins pitcher Kevin Tapani.
