I haven't heard much about Colon, but he seems to have been injured all year. Am I wrong or is that the case?
They did face John Lackey and Ervin Santana...yeah, I know the latter sucks away from home. He's having a bad year too I guess. Weaver hasn't been TOTALLY special either. He's a great pitcher, but with the exception of ERA, Matsuzaka has him in every other category (not to mention he pitches in a tougher offensive division). Dice-K also has only 3 more walks than Weaver in 28.2 more IP. Between Beckett and Lackey, I'd take Beckett. Between Matsuzaka and Weaver, I'd take Matsuzaka. I'm not going to go any further because Tavarez is the best 5th starter in baseball, and Wakefield is erratic as hell with his consistency. If Schilling comes back and pitches well, I think it puts the Sox well over the top.
