So with Schilling seemingly back with the Sox, the rotation would look like:
Beckett
Schilling
Dice-K
Lester
Buchholz
Wakefield
yup, I put 6 names because I strongly believe the Sox should go with a 6 man rotation next season as it would benefit just about every member of that rotation with the exception of maybe Beckett. More rest would perhaps prevent another dead arm period for Schilling. Dice-K always pitches better with an extra day of rest. Wakefield's shoulder would hold up better with more rest. Lester is still recovering from cancer and is still a young arm and Buchholz would benefit from pitching a limited amount of innings.
But if they stick with a 5 man rotation, Wakefield would look awfully good as a long reliever/spot starter which would then mean either Tavarez or Snyder would have to go
