Seriously guys, he is arguably a No 1-2 type pitcher and in Red Sox standards he is an ace.
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.
