ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes and Joe McDonald recap the official opening of spring training -- reporting day for pitchers and catchers -- saying the Red Sox can expect longer days and more involved workouts under Bobby Valentine. They also discuss the absence of longtime catcher Jason Varitek and whether defensive wiz Jose Iglesias can win over Bobby V and claim the starting shortstop job.
