The Red Sox still have plenty of question marks when it comes to their starting rotation. Chris Mazza, Jeffrey Springs and some others are in the mix to fill out the group once the season starts.
@peteabe
From being outrighted to AAA in November to starting the fourth game of the season? @Brian_Johnson35 is close to making that comeback with the #RedSox:

This rotation is going to be bad.
That's an understatement.

I was having a nice evening and all of a sudden I hear Brian Freaking Johnson might be the 4th starter. They are trying to get me to not buy the MLB package this year.

Now all we need is for the Sox to bring Buchholz back and our baseball lives will be complete!
The Red Sox announced Thursday that they’ve formally added catcher Jonathan Lucroy to their 60-man player pool. Lucroy joins the pool as a non-roster player and brings Boston’s total to 48 players (37 members of the 40-man roster and 11 non-roster invitees).
Sox added relievers Mick Kickham and Caleb Simpson to bring the total player pool to 50. They are supposedly meeting today to figure out what to do with the remaining 10 spots. Looks like they aren't going to go the Padres route of bringing in all their top prospects.

Andrew Cashner
Marco Estrada

Munoz isn't on the 40 man roster. I think he's on the outside looking in. Brewer was an absolute dog last year. Hall had a decent year as a starter for Toledo in 2018, but wasn't impressive anywhere last year.
Munoz is the Swiss Army knife type, he can play a wide variety of positions and can hit. Kind of a Brock Holt type. Has he got the temperament to succeed? At 25, he may be an excellent utility man to have on the team and possibly more.
