I mentioned this before, but the only factor I could see the Sox taking 13 pitchers is if rain is in the forecast for Oakland on Wednesday, April 6.
Unless I'm missing something with the 26th man rules, if the Wednesday game got rained out and the Sox were forced to play two on Thursday, they would have to do that without a 26th man.
Right now, the forecast is cloudy with a chance of rain throughout that series.

I will never understand why they passed on Rodon. You're talking about a guy a year earlier who was the most hyped college pitcher since Strasburg & Prior. I don't care if his agent was Boras and he was coming off a subpar season, taking Kolek over him was an idiotic move then and looks even worse now.
They fell in love with the big-bodied Texan who could be a horse. They guessed wrong, for now.
Fulmer sent down to minor league camp.
36 left.

Carroll, Kahnle, Turner, Aumont
H Sanchez

Coats, May
Split squad vs Reds. Sox play the Dodgers tonight, with Fulmer on the mound.

He wasn't added to the 40-man. For whatever reason, teams have to declare a guy eligible to play in the big league spring training game, so those names appear in the transactions. Katz was probably brought up for one day on the 19th, but didn't get in the game.
