Let's keep it. In this snowbound environment, Sox ST news warms up the day.
Good also to see the likes of Masterson, Porcello, Pablo and a few other roster players showing up to get acquainted with their new team.

Is there ever a circumstance where a team invites a non-roster player to ST and they say "Thanks for thinking of me, but I'll take a pass?"

Is there ever a circumstance where a team invites a non-roster player to ST and they say "Thanks for thinking of me, but I'll take a pass?" It's not an option. "Invitation" is really only a term of art. This of course acknowledging that nobody would say no in their right minds, but figured I'd throw the technical answer out there. Same goes for things like Instructs and any other minor league camps.

Doesn't "invitation to ST" just mean that when they are there, which they would have been in any case, they get to hang out with the major league folks rather than the minor leaguers?

Doesn't "invitation to ST" just mean that when they are there, which they would have been in any case, they get to hang out with the major league folks rather than the minor leaguers? It is technically an "invitation to major league spring training," which technically means they are competing for spots on the major league roster. Not sure if you've been down there, but it's not like the major leaguers are on field one and the minor leaguers are on 2 and 3. (Although it kinda sorta is in the early stages, but at that point, MiLB camp hasn't officially started up yet.) MLB and MiLB camps used to be at two completely separate complexes, in fact, before they built Fenway South - the major leaguers were at City of Palms and the minor league complex was a short-ish drive away.

Not sure if you've been down there I've never been anywhere on the east coast of the USA in my life, and the last time I was on the west coast was in the early 90s.

@peteabe: Watched #RedSox LHP Eduardo Rodriguez throw in the bullpen just now. Understanding why they traded some AAA starters.
@nickcafardo: Impressive bullpen by lefty Eduardo Rodriguez acquired from Os in Andrew Miller deal.
This will make you feel warm and cozy.

It makes me grin ear to ear thinking we got him for a rental bullpen arm. lol

“@peteabe: Without going into too many details, Koji Uehara said his arm was bothering him last season. But he was healthy by the end. #RedSox” “@bradfo: Koji said he was hurt at end of last year but wouldn't identify what ailment was. Said it was not simply fatigue”

His splitter did seem to suffer a bit at one point in the season.

Somewhere I read Koji had lower back issue that the Sox think is past history, probably in twitter yesterday.

www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2015/02/17/baseball/mlb/uehara-plagued-by-back-pain-report/#.VOMw6fmUcns NEW YORK – Boston Red Sox closer Koji Uehara was experiencing lower back pain last August, the Boston Herald reported Monday on its website.
Uehara, who turns 40 on April 3, would not go into detail but said his problems at the end of last season, when he began leaving pitches up in the strike zone, had nothing to do with fatigue.
Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington revealed it was a lower back issue that forced him to change his mechanics.
“I didn’t talk about it at that time,” Uehara said through translator C.J. Matsumoto after arriving at the team’s training camp in Fort Myers, Florida. “I think I’m over it. I’m not going to go into specifics, but it wasn’t fatigue.”
In six appearances from Aug. 16 to Sept. 4 last season, Uehara surrendered four homers and 10 runs. Afterward, the Red Sox removed the right-hander from the closer’s role and gave him a week off. He was used in only three of the team’s last 15 games.
