did you not say Sandal would be in the rotation?? Chalk him up to another of the Sox low risk-NO reward P signings that flopped. 

No. I said, if he's healthy, he had a history that I felt justified calling him our #5 over someone like Bello, Oviedo and Crawford.

I prefaced my rankings of starters based on the idea that all were healthy, except Houck, who we knew was out all year.

Don't be surprised if Sandoval has a good year, if an when he gets healthy- most likely with another team.

I also think Crawford can be good under healthy conditions. I don't know enough about Oviedo.

I'm glad Tolle and Early seem to have won their slots. Bello's implositon all but assures they stay in the rotation, when Crochet returns.

I've never been a fan of signing injured pitchers.

Where did I say I wanted IKF to play everyday? You’re analyzing like someone else we know. I just said I thought he would be the fill in with the key word being fill in. This sounds like more than a fill in situation, but Mayer’s is still a platoon player who can’t hit. Mayer is 8-49 in May with 1 HR, and 2 RBI, and also 14 K’s. I know you guys are all about OPS, which isn’t the end all, be all, and certainly doesn’t tell all IMO, but Mayer’s 599 certainly isn’t anything to brag about  either.

It actually does tell a lot, unlike RBIs, which on their own tell very little…
