That's what I was using in my post.

I am going on record that this twerp will get nailed on his very first drug test.

Who is overreacting? My comment was that if the changeup causes his pitch count to be elevated, I'd recommend that he ditch the pitch. He has plenty of other weapons to attack hitters. I can assure you that I am not on a ledge. I told the Radatz story to illustrate that it is not always a good idea to develop a new pitch. Mo Rivera has done fine with one pitch. He never developed a slider. I have a heart attack when Papelbon throws a slider.

So, you have convinced me that the Red Sox rotation is comparable to that of the Yankees and the Rays. I believe that is what I was saying. Those comparisons can be argued in either direction with no clear cut winner. That's why I am not getting all excited about the depth of the Red Sox starting pitching, because it is only arguably on par with that of our two rivals. The Red Sox do not have a clear advantage in this regard in its own division.

I don't think that you are viewing the Yankees or Tampa very objectively. Most experts like their rotations. As for Kazmir, lots of teams would like to have the young lefty. Sonnestine may be a #4, but I'd swap Wakefield for him in a minute.

Lester gave up 6 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings today. That line brings back unpleasant memories.
-
8 deep with a few risks? IMO it's more like 3 solid spots in the rotation and 5 question marks. That's more than 60% question marks.

The Red Sox ruined his entire career?

How deep are the Sox right now? Wakefield is #4 and he has been pitching with a torn labrum for two years. Penny's shoulder is questionable and he is not ready to take a turn yet. Bucholz had a great spring, but he was god awful last season. Smoltz won't be ready until June at the earliest. There are only 3 solid pitchers in the rotation. Everyone else is a ?

As I said in my post, the game has changed. With today's specialization and coddling of starters, 11 or 12 pitchers are needed.
-
Carter and Bailey just continue to hit. Carter hit his 6th HR and Bailey had a double. Both are hitting around .360. Too bad that in today's game teams carry 11 or 12 pitchers. They would make for a nice lefty-righty pinch hitting tandem.
-
Carter has won the job over Bailey? Has Bailey been sent down?
-
I'll respond this morning.

When will final cuts be made by the Sox?
-
They are messing around with his service to delay his Arb. And FA eligibilty like they did last year with Longoria. Smart move.
