I have been watching the Sox since 1966.
I know that I must have seen worse rotations. I must have, right?
In any case, with the exception of Wade Miley this is the rotation that I suggested the Sox would build. I do not assume any blame for suspecting that the Sox would go after both Porcello and Masterson.
I still like the Porcello signing ( although I would have waited until about June to re-sign him regardless of his desire not to talk during the season ). I do like Masterson but would only have signed him if the Sox had legit #1 and #2 starters on the team. I can see the low risk - moderate potential reward. It just won't work out on this staff and team.
These are just my opinions and everyone is surely welcome to attack me if that is how you wish to prove your manhood.
This team is toast.
Expensive toast.
