Scott has allowed five hits and four walks while striking out four in six scoreless innings this spring.
The second lefty in the bullpen comes down to Scott and Fernando Abad, who is currently away from camp competing in the World Baseball Classic for Team Dominican Republic. Scott was dominant at Triple-A Pawtucket and effective in a brief September cameo for Boston last season, but Abad's experience, particularly his track record against left-handed hitters, is seen as a plus. However, Abad's $2 million salary is not guaranteed unless he makes the roster out of spring training. If the Red Sox feel Scott can provide similar results at a cheaper rate, he could emerge with a roster spot Opening Day.
