[edit] Scouting Report

Lopez was the only left-handed arm in the Red Sox pen last year, and he actually performed quite admirably, amassing a 2.70 ERA in 27 appearances. This year, with the acquisition of Hideki Okajima, Lopez will probably lose some playing time and could be relegated to LOOGY duty.
