Ben Cherington said they "can be" in a good spot with the starting pitching depth this season. He said some of it depends on prospects taking steps forward, Jared Jones returning from his rehab and still looking externally for help, as well.
For Jones, Cherington said he threw a live bullpen yesterday. They still don't have a date for his rehab assignment. They also haven't gotten into exactly what role he'll be in to manage his innings when he does return (starting vs. relief), but still view him as a starter in the long term.
