I don't believe that Socolovitch was back to 100 % early in the year. He it the type of a pitcher who could have a future either as a starter or a reliever, as a starter he is around 92-94 with his fastball and a good breaking pitch, as a reliever he is up to 97, however he needs to get stronger, for now I believe that the Sox will keep him as a starter and should be one the starters in Greenville in 2008.
