Early Shines, Secures Red Sox Rotation Spot

0:00On March 30th, a 23-year-old Red Sox pitcher named Early went deep into a matchup against the Reds, throwing more innings than most. Expected, manager Alex Kora kept him on the mound late, and he wasn't the reason Boston dropped the game. Right after they pulled him though, the Reds smashed a home run to seal the win. Still, Early showed why he's in the mix now, handling business like a vet. Fans and scouts have been buzzing during spring training. They hyped Yohan Oviato for his height and arm extension, figuring he'd snag the rotation spot. But Early dominated camp and flashed at the end of last season, forcing the socks to hand him the gig. No real choice there. Early returns on this kid are looking solid, no doubt. Keep watching. He might just lock down that rotation for good.
