    This is a really good analysis of the situation. I would say Lester pitched like a two, but that's neither here nor there. The real point here is, no team can withstand the rash of injuries and ineffectiveness the Red Sox had last season. There's not enough depth in the world to come back from that unmitigated stream of ********.

    Good observation.

    Your expectations are unrealistic iortiz. There's only so much depth you can accumulate against injuries, and the farm system isn't simply something you can manage to your liking in regards to MLB backup plans. Prospects are ready when they're ready, not when you want them to.

    And there's the problem. Who would have been available for just cash that was decidedly better than Bedard?

    That's not the point at all. The point is (and you've been told this several times by several different people) that you like to present your opinion as irrefutable fact.

    Kalish will be back sooner rather than later. The Red Sox had the best offense in the Majors last year while getting nothing from the OF corners and little from 3B. Banking on improvement from Crawford and better health from Youk makes RF a luxury instead of a necessity. Not to mention that the Sweeney/McD combo may outperform what we got from RF last year overall. Finding a #4 starter is much more important, because of the need for starting pitching depth and since the Sox didn't do that well in most pitching categories last year, finding a guy that will allow Bard or Aceves to go back to the bullpen while strengthening the rotation is much more important and, an actual need.

    Hindsight is 20/20.

    How does he have "ace potential" if he's elite? He has ace potential but he's not elite by any means.

    However, to rain on Yankee fans' parades (as Jacksonian seems to be so adept at doing against the Red Sox) Pineda could indeed regress in the AL East to the point where he's a marginal upgrade over what Colon gave them last year, Garcia survived on moxie and could implode any second, Nova is not nearly as good as Jacksonian pimps him out to be, no one knows how Kuroda will react to NYS and the AL East, and Burnett and Hughes are both wildcards. Lots of possibility for suckage there.

    I don't mean to sound offensive, but it seems like you're looking for a trolling opportunity. We know you think the Yankees farm is better, so save us the trouble.

    Please, don't try to use something logical like "We lost two-thirds of our starting rotation, part of our depth and had every possible that could go wrong, go wrong". "That's just a ******** excuse".

    So what you're trying to tell me is that, using your "worst case scenario" projections i'm supposed to believe Kuroda + Pineda aren't going to give the Yankees better production than Bartolo + Burnett? Ok.

    Holy s***, the whining has reached the heavens. Calm down people.

    I cannot understand how some posters here are looking down on Pineda's talent. I'm not saying he couldn't bomb, because with pitchers you never know, but the stuff is definitely there.

    I am at a loss for words at Red Sox fans saying that the Yankees didn't just massively improve their rotation. That is the epitome of bias. I also find the criticism of Cherington to be highly misguided and knee-jerk. The armchair GM's sure have it easy from the comfort of their couches.
