There will be plenty of room for Bucholz when he is ready. in the meantime, if the Red Sox can get Buerhle without giving up a blue-chipper, they should do it.
I wish the FO would pick up a starter, before the trading deadline. The thought of throwing Wakefield and catching Mirabelli in a playoff game makes me nauseas.
Lugo is the 4th SS in 4 years--- really 5 if you count Nomah. Maybe next year the Sox will lure ARod who will opt out of his contract and the parade of Shortstops will end.
ARod is not allowed to play SS. Jeter wouldn't like it and Torre would never cross Jeter. It was the obvious right move to put ARod at SS, but politics get in the way.
