Yeah, this way Tito won't burn him early. Buchholz will get the experience he needs with a less risk over injury, etc while in the bullpen. I'm sure he'll start in the rotation in 2008, a possible Schilling or Wakefiled replacement.
If anyone from the bullpen needs to go it's Lopez or Delcarmen. They could be traded off for another pitching prospect or possibly another bat. We're doing quite alright with Timlin, Okajima, Papelbon, and hopefully sooner than later, Gange. And I know we'll need pitchers so they don't all get burned up, but Lopez and Delcarmen pissed me off. They pulled a Gange in the damn 6th inning and s*** the bed. Who's to say they won't f*** that up in the postseason?
