Since abreau and yoshida will likely start the year on the DL, we have Duran, rafeala and refsynder left on the 26!
we have 3 players likely to be placed on the 60 day DL, so we could add Anthony to the 40 man roster. But…
Some here think Anthony is not ready to start the year in Boston.

Regardless, whoever the new outfielder that starts the year in Boston is, he is probably a placeholder until abreau is healthy.
Thompson and Eaton can play in the outfield, but neither is in the 40 man roster.
sogard is on the 40 man roster and can get play in the outfield. Last year his offense was kind of pitiful in Boston but ok in Worcester.
if Anthony stays strong offensively over the next two weeks, I favor him starting the year in Boston.
if Anthony struggles to recover from the stomach bug, then I favor the hottest hitter of Thompson, Eaton or sogard starting the year on n Boston
