IMO we are more likely buyers than sellers, but the gap between us and BAL doesn't have to get wider or at least the battle for the WC has to be realistic.
Would you prefer Price and Porcello over Lester and Lackey?
I don't think it's the same situation Bell.
Considering their contracts and what I've been seeing from them, I think I would consider it.
No one is arguing that station although it was part of the problem when Papelbon wasn't around until we found Koji.
Anyways... DD has a tremendous challenge right now, fix the mess in our rotation in the next month.
Buchh is done Kim. He is not SP anymore.
IMO and considering how the market seems right now, it's going to be tough to grab an arm.
As I've been saying the last two years, get the goddamn pitching in the offseason.
Koji was a one-hit-wonder as closer. He wasn't even a closer prior Boston.
...and remember, he was not even going to be our closer. We were very very lucky to give him that role.
If Price is the problem we are done guys. Price is not pitching at his norms, but he is the least of our problems.
We need a solid pitcher (No. 1-2) and a decent No. 4-5. The lack of this my friends is the real problem. We are only competitive in 3 out of 5 days every week -- and sometimes only 1 or 2. You won't go anywhere like this unless your offense make 10+ Rs in those days --like they did in April and May.
