Re: Bullpen Concerns
In all seriousness the Red Sox have traded prospects for a reliever three times in the Theo era. Its kinda worked out once (Williamson). As we've seen veteran relievers can fall off the cliff pretty quickly even late in the season. It may happen even more this year with decreased steroid use.
Gammons on the radio has said that the Sox would be hard pressed to get someone on the open market with better stuff than MDC and Hansen.
They have the solutions on the team. They just have to wait to see them work themselves out as opposed to making a desperate move. My bet is that by the end of the season, both guys are very good options at the back end of games.
