The race for the two final spots in Boston's starting rotation hasn't formally ended, but Daniel Bard and Felix Doubront are in the lead. Bard has a vice grip on the No. 4 spot as he transitions from the bullpen. That leaves four in-house options - right-handers Alfredo Aceves and Vicente Padilla, and lefties Felix Doubront and Andrew Miller - for the final spot. Doubront has made strides this spring and if the season began today many believe he would be in the rotation.
