he gives the team a lot of what they don't have. can play several positions, lefty bat off the bench and decent power. we could do worse as far as bench players go but he isn't anything special, nowhere close to what a lot of people thought he would be after winning ROTY
oh, I agree completely. he's gone above and beyond what's been expected of him and he's kept Lester in the minors. he's still shown he'll have a place on the team beyond Lester's return whether it be as a long reliever or whatever
putting Schilling on the 15-day makes sense, he would've had a 9 day rest between starts if indeed he missed Sunday so why not just open up a roster spot
He's looked upon favorably enough. No one would honestly put him above Schilling, Beckett, Dice-K, Wakefield, Tavarez or Lester and he's definitely passed Hansack as the "7th starting pitcher".
Curt is on EEI right now and said his MRI results came back normal. He said he does have a bit of discomfort and said it's just a bit of tendonitis. He also got a cortizone shot yesterday
