Sooner or later and better sooner we need to get a 4th/5th decent spot. So... What is available or tradable these days? Nobody really knows, but Theo should be looking for some long shot since this is urgent to fill in the short/mid/long term.
I don't know what you all think about this but I'm not that confident about Buch's healthy; I mean, even pitching at some point, I would be concerned about the quality of those pitches since the pain will remain there (according to the Docs) and will affect his delivery although he doesn't tell, you bet; that's why this issue has to be considerate before the T-DL, and mostly since we are a serious contender for the WS this year.
+1 or send him to a team where he can get fun like the Nats or the Astros.
Seriously he doesn't even throw strikes he is ball,ball,ball,ball,HR,HR,ball,ball....
We are an unbalanced team, right now.
We better recover Buch or/and bring a solid SP, we can't go like this to the WS, a solid team wouldn't forgive you with 4-5 Rs deficit.
I don't use to watch TF's press conferences, but I wonder if the reporters in Boston ask all these things to Francona straight and without fear or some kind of commitment. I definitely would do.
