I like the 6-man rotation for the rest of the month. They only have this coming Thursday off, and supposedly pitchers do better on 5 days rest, so why not? Buehrle- Sea, Oak, LA, Tor Jackson- LAA, Tex, LA, Tor Danks- LAA, Tex, Tex, Tor Peavy- LAA, Cle, Tex, Bos Humber- Oak, Cle, Tex, Bos Floyd- Oak, LA, Tor, Bos Then they can figure out what they want to do. Chances are the person to take out of the rotation will answer itself by then.

Cardinals want Buehrle? When Peavy comes back you can rule out Humber, Floyd, and Danks coming out of the rotation.

Ethier streak ends at 30.

3-4, 4.47 ERA 7 shutout innings tonight.

Mr. Furbush is having his way with Viciedo. 3 K's

Viciedo 2 k's so far against the lefty.

Charlotte--Viciedo at DH http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...chraaa_tolaaa_1 Starter for Toledo is named Furbush. By Cracky.

The Sale thing really bugs me. If everything was going well now--team playing well, Sale pitching ok, and Thornton closing, then I could get behind Sale being in the bullpen. With everything going wrong, Sale really needs to be sent down now and get him 20 starts in the minors this year.

If Sale is truly in the rotation plans for 2012, he should be in the minors now, you know, starting.

I'm not saying start the firesale now, but once it's apparent they won't be getting to .500 or within 6-7 games by the break, then they should make whatever moves they can. I don't even know who they can move. They probably are capable of moving Jackson, Danks, and Floyd. Maybe Buehrle---is that 15 mil thing for 2012 still in effect? Quentin is movable. But they still have these gems on the books after this year: Dunn- 3 yrs/44 mil (not saying it's a bust contract yet) Peavy- 1 yr/21 mil (including the 2013 buyout) Rios- 3 yrs/38 mil AJ making 6 mil in 2012

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 7, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) The Sox need offense and Viciedo is on fire in Charlotte. Its time to make a move. Agreed. For them not to make a personnel or roster move before the Seattle series just shows how much denial Kenny is in right now.

It's sad this season is already coming down to math equations, but the Sox have 60 games to the break. They have to play .600 ball to be 47-46 at the break. Serious trouble.

Looks better without the Paulie's. Just sayin'.

3 more K's for Mitchell. Bust football player.

Viciedo is going to hit his way on to the roster very quickly.

If the Sox are out of it in July, they might as well see what they can get. Yankees? Get Montero and those pitching prospects?

So, what, 4 or 5 hits tonight?

Like it. Slump buster.

Viciedo just walked!!! Balta, I'm talking to you.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Get Viciedo up here. We need the knocks.

100 pitches for Peavy. He did it!! /sarcastic

Birmingham- http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...biraax_jacaax_1 Winston-Salem- http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...lynafa_wswafa_1 Mitchell is a f***ing k machine. Kannapolis- http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...capafx_kanafx_1

...and a homer for Viciedo. Um, so yeah, we're going to have to ask you to get on a plane to Seattle.

Indians win. 11 out on May 5th.
