Kimbrel made his debut with his new team Friday, allowing an unearned run in one inning against the Rays, the Boston Herald reports. "I felt like it went good, I was controlling my fastball and tried to throw some offspeed pitches over the plate," Kimbrel said. "With spring training that will come but I was really pleased with how my fastball was today."

EDGE Analysis

There's no secret to where Kimbrel fits in Boston's bullpen -- he's the closer who possesses a high-90s fourseam fastball. The Red Sox lacked power arms in the bullpen last year and acquiring Kimbrel from San Diego was one move to remedy that.
