Talk of Gary DiSarcina rejoining the Red Sox organization began to heat up at the Winter Meetings, when he received permission to meet with team officials about the managing job at Pawtucket. Before DiSarcina left Nashville, where he was special assistant to Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto, he had the job.
DiSarcina, who grew up in Billerica and lives in Plymouth, said the lure of returning home to manage again was the deciding factor in his decision. DiSarcina thanked Dipoto for allowing him to pursue the job. after the Red Sox asked permission to speak to him.

Aceves wants to start. Perhaps he should have won the job last year. There's no doubt he can pitch, and appears to have a rubber arm. He may be better than some of the penciled in starters now.
John Lackey? Wow! Howe can anyone expect him to be anything more than sub-mediocre? That is all he has ever been at Fenway. Plus, he is a bad influence on other players. He at be popular but that isn't necessarily a good thing. He is always blaming someoneelse and doesn't believe playerneeded to rake responsibility. C'mon Red Sox management. See if the Dodgers will let him join his buddy Beckett.
Sorry for the previous typos.
