I don't see why the Red Sox traded Scutaro if they aren't going to make a legitimate offer to a top pitcher. We got worse with this trade if they don't sign a big name pitcher.
I'm a little hesitant putting Bard as a starter. But, I guess I will see what he can do in spring training. I also I think he is going to have to learn to throw another pitch.
I guess it just comes down to the fact that I really want him to retire in a Red Sox uniform. I think if the Sox don't sign him, he is going to sign somewhere else and I would hate that.
