Why else would he think Buehrle is a middle-of-the-rotation pitcher? Sheehan obviously has never seen him pitch if he would make such an ignorant statement.
The Sox aren't going to cut Davis. If they do, they would still have to pay out his $1 million contract. It's not going to happen. Either Ben Davis is the backup catcher OR he is traded and Burke or Widger gets the job. It's as simple as that.
Do you think I really care to get a response back from this guy? He's a hack and has probably never even seen Buehrle pitch. He probably sits around and makes player assessments with a calculator. :rolly
The Mets would have to give up a good prospect to get the Rockies to pay most of Johnson's $9 million contract. They could send us a lesser prospect for Davis.
