Its deffinitly bad times in Red Sox nation right now...however...
A starting combo of Curt Schilling and John Smoltz is very strong. We also forget that Tim Wakefield is a very consistant #3 starter who keeps the Red Sox in games. As for Beckett and Lester at the bottom of the rotation....its a guessing game....they can shut out a team or they can get crushed. Either way the Red Sox rotation is much more impressive with two ace pitchers, a reliable #3, and two flashy young pitchers in the back.
....I don't like our odds of getting him and on that note....I don't have great faith we will get anything. It sounds like this is the team the Red Sox are going to battle with. If these guys would just play better than we wouldn't have to worry so much.
