at worst' date=' take either Colon or Wakefield and put them in the 'pen as the long reliever and get rid of Chris Smith[/quote']

 

Putting Wake as reliever is an issue as Cash will have to come to catch him.

Wake's not leaving the rotation. Maybe in October, but not September.

Yep, not with a 6.5 game lead in the AL WC

His last start sucked but besides that he hasn't been thaaat bad. I'm not quite ready to banish him to the bullpen. Maybe if he shits the bed next time.

Don't forget Lester. He's been really great this season for us. Solid ace in the making.

 

 

I mean Lester will help us to close Rays at 0.5 GB,and Matsuzaka wil make us lead Rays 0.5.

 

Probabily, DICE-K also can help us to be NO.1 in AL if yankees beats LAA in first two games.
