Wait, what? Of course the sox wouldnt have wells in the bullpen rather than papelbon. thats a no-brainer it would be decided between arroyo and paps. But, that aside
as for lots of veteran starting pitchers on the staff in 2006, Schilling is the only pitcher that is 100% assured of coming back. Wells is mulling retirement. Miller will not be resigned to the Sox. Bronson this offseason will look for a mulit-year $$$ contract extension (2006 is team option). Clement's piss poor 2nd half and torrid playoff start might have cost him the "Javier Vazquez" treatment. No doubt in mind that Papelbon will be in rotation next spring, and could very will win 15 games or more
