Obviously easier said than done with the value/scarcity of SP’s, but sure would be nice to acquire/spend $ on proven SP’s AND have a dominant pen.That 4 inning save was stellar....it also might have gassed him. Taylor gave up some long outs in game 2 and well he looked awful today.

8 hours ago8 hr 9 minutes ago, fathom said:Opening day rotation of:Burke, Martin, Castillo, Kay, SchultzThe only way that rotation survives is if the lockout lasts until June or July and they only play 100 games.Not disagreeing with your point but if this is what the Sox trot out there whenever they do play that is a recipe for disaster.

8 hours ago8 hr Another issue they will have to navigate is none of the young guys built up their innings total. Gonna be a lot of restrictions once again next year.

8 hours ago8 hr They're gonna have to look at addition by subtraction. Might need to sacrifice some of the young ones for upgrade of they have to trade but it's unfortunately not likely

This has happened a few times this year.The guy has electric stuff, he can look unhittable one game, then a few nights later look like he belongs in single A trying to figure out what the hell to do.

2 hours ago2 hr 5 hours ago, fathom said:Tell me where it’s wrong. Castillo will get every chance to start.True. But this team being what it is, he’s either gonna put up, or he’s getting dropped. Too much at stake to play a guy just for money. If the Sox were losing 90 games, different story, who cares.
2 hours ago2 hr 6 hours ago, fathom said:Opening day rotation of:Burke, Martin, Castillo, Kay, SchultzGetz will need to sign a couple reliable starters, Kay and Castillo can’t be in the rotation . Fedde and Sandlin should be used as spot starters or long relievers. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by The Mighty Mite
