I am bored and in the mood to post a silly poll to pass the time. It seems that we have a consensus that we would all like to get an additional established starting pitcher. The question is whether we will get one and when.
-
I won't panic, but I will be disappointed.
-
So he can drive up Ortiz's arbitration award? No thanks.
-
I think we have the makings of a rare consensus on TalkSox-- that we need another established starter. Ben Cher, take not. We can't all be wrong.
-
No argument with this. I'd rather have Doubront in the pen as a swing man with Bard in the rotation to start the season. If Bard bombs in the rotation, then i try Doubront.

I love Bailey's stuff, but I hate the recurring elbow issues and that can't go more than 40 innings. I don't see Albers and Melancon replacing Aceves and Bard.
-
That, we can agree on.
-
-
getting one of those guy would greatly strengthen the rotation and the bullpen. It is what we are all hoping for.
-
And what about Aceves in the 4 spot? And what will the bullpen be like without Papelbon, Bard and Aceves? Do you see a decrease in the pen or are you also optimistic about Albers, Melancon and Bailey?

I could see that as a possibility, but I wouldn't be happy with it. I was counting on Doubront as a depth option. If he is in the rotation, the other pigs like Silva and Cook are depth options?
-
The plan is for them to compete for rotation spots and they are probably favored to win those spots. If they are in the rotation, they need to be replaced in the bullpen.
-
A psychiatric evaluation should be ordered.

Yeah you are missing something. We lost our 3 best relievers from the 2011 pen-- Papelbon, Bard and Aceves. Bard and Aceves are going to new roles in the starting rotation with no track record for success. Two relievers have been obtained to replace those 3, and they are not as good as any of the 3 being replaced.

We're still waiting to hear from the so-called optimists on this. As predicted, they got nothing.:thumbdown

He'd cover more ground in RF lying down than running around after fly balls.

^ This should be the strategy.

Forget about explaining why our 2012 pitching as currently constructed is worse than our 2011 pitching. People have made this case over and over. The answer that we are getting is that we can't be sure. Okay, that's really an effective parry. Puhlease! How about someone attempting to make the case (backed up with facts and stats) that our 2012 pitching as currently constructed will be better than our 2011 pitching. Have at it. My guess is that they will all run for the doors or continue to argue that we can't know that our pitching will be worse. I'd like to hear why it will be better. Please leave out that we will have Buch back for the whole season. Injuries are part of the game, and our top 3 haven't been healthy for an entire season in several years.
