KANSAS CITY -- The weather here is as beautiful as it was in Florida last week: 80 degrees, sunny, just perfect baseball weather. A great day for an opener.
In his pregame meeting with the media, Terry Francona said Julian Tavarez will pitch a simulated game tomorrow. He'll be working against the extras: Eric Hinske, Alex Cora, Wily Mo Pena and Doug Mirabelli.
Francona also said Mike Timlin, recovering from a strained oblique muscle, will pitch a camp game tomorrow in Fort Myers. After that he will join the Pawtucket Red Sox on a rehab assignment and will pitch the seventh inning in their season opener Thursday in Charlotte. Then he will be the starting pitcher (though will only work an inning or two) on Saturday, also in Charlotte.
More news later . . .
