Manager Bobby Valentine has announced that LHP Felix Doubront and RHP Daniel Bard have won the two open spots in his rotation. The announcement was made yesterday. Doubront will be the team's fourth starter and Bard the fifth, behind LHP Jon Lester, RHP Josh Beckett, and RHP Clay Buchholz, if all are healthy.
RHP Alfredo Aceves, who was also competing for a rotation spot, was informed that he will pitch out of the bullpen. Bard has been a reliever in the Majors and posted a 6.57 ERA in six starts this Spring, but was considered a lock for the rotation all off-season.
