Ernest Hemingway may have penned the classic
"A Farewell To Arms", but
new Red Sox manager John Farrell will be saying "Hello!" to a bunch of arms in the next several days. Farrell will take off today to visit with
John Lackey in Dallas, then confab with both
Felix Doubront and
Franklin Morales on Saturday at the Fort. Then, in perhaps his most important meeting, he will sit down with troubled hurler
Daniel Bard on Sunday in Mississippi. The conventional wisdom is that one of the benefits of hiring Farrell is that he can fix whatever ails Bard. This will be the first step in the quest to recapture the magic that tabbed him as the 'closer of the future'. It's not surprising that Farrell is eagerly doing this due diligence with the pitching staff, but it's still good to see.
