Suspect?!?!?
Sale, Price (CY winner), Porcello (CY winner), ERod, Pom
Pomeranz isn't that great, but if he pitched like last season, every other club would love to have that as a #5. I'm not sure what you're expecting out of a rotation.

Moreland was good last year until he broke his toe. He's been outstanding so far this year. I'm glad they kept him around. A clean-up hitter in 2018 isn't the same as a clean-up hitter in 1988.
I don't believe he has to be an ace. If he can stay healthy and pitch a large chunk of innings each year without being a disaster, it's a net positive for the Sox. You have to pay a premium to bring in FA's. Sometimes the contracts don't necessarily translate to performance on the field, but the Sox have been inept at developing front line starters my whole lifetime. It was a risk they needed to take.
I've been really busy the past few days and haven't been able to keep up with everything. I saw a few posts about Pedey being out and figured he had to get additional surgery or something. However, if it's just inflamation, I can't say I'm really surprised. He's just going to have to get back into it slower than he wants to. I think if they hold him back now, he'll have a better chance to contribute this fall.
I don't see him being a substantial asset for the next few years, but his defense should keep him at least at replacement level and I think they are stuck with his contract for good.
