The Sox minor league complex is a blast after the big club leaves. Tons of players, very few fans. There is officially no parking there but once the big club leaves you can park in the grass across from the reserved parking lot. I don't think anything starts before 8:00am (and I never get there that early myself). I don't think the game schedule has been posted yet.

You're right, the minor league game schedule hasn't been posted yet.  My memory from last year is that the games vs other team opponents start surprisingly late (last year it was Wed., 17 March; my guess is that this year it will be Wed. 16 March, but that's just a guess).  That's probably because many of the best minor leaguers are still in major league camp prior to that.

Minor league spring training games start at about 1 PM (occasionally a little earlier); two levels of the red sox are at home each day (last year, AAA and AA were together), two play away games each day (A & A+ for example).   The next day it flips, so you always have two teams at the Minor league complex.  As SittingStill noted, once the big club moves to City of Palms park, there is no problem with parking near the minor league complex.  I can't find my ref for it, but believe no one (or hardly anyone) is on the field before about 9:30 AM, when they start hitting and fielding practice (I think they have a daily meeting at 9 AM).  I went in the morning the year before last and it was interesting enough, but more fun when they were playing games.  I suspect the minor leaguers do intra-squad games (probably also 1 PM ish) in late Feb/early March before the games against other teams commence, but I can't say that for sure since I've only been down in mid March..
