Buchholz
Rubby De La Rosa
Workman
Webster
Ranaudo
Taking what someone just posted that we're left with as a starting point. Replace one of Buch or Workman with Owens. This can't be the rotation we're gonna rock out with from Opening Day, right?
Top pitching FAs are Scherzer and Shields. Both are >30 so can we assume the Sox aren't offering more than 4 years? No way they get either.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win

I hope that is not our rotation. We have to get one of the top FA pitchers.

Is Dempster sill under contract for 2015? I know he took this season off, but didn't know if he opted out of his entire contract or not.
I still have hope for the trade-and-sign. Because without the trade and sign, this team is 5-10 years away from meaningful games.
Buchholtz, two of those young arms, and two FA (Hopefully one of them is Lester). If the Sox have more then two young arms in April for their starting staff then the 2015 Sox will not in the playoff picture.
Sorry, thought he was at AAA already.

Sorry Ted, we need TWO pitchers. What we have right now is garbage. You know Webster is a penguin in the garden, Workman a advertisement for failure, and Buchholz a total disaster. I don't know about Kelly except that he should be better than t hose three stooges I just mentioned. Maybe we can trade for Hamels. The Phillies are hurting worse than us and they did nothing today at all. Amaro is on very thin ice over there because he has done an even crappier job this year than Cherington has. Perhaps we can make a big trade for Cole Hamels, then sign a free agent if Lucchintsyino will get Prune Face to open his damn wallet and let the moths come out. Today was a total disaster in my opinion and the only real hope is that tomorrow Anthony Renaudo goes out and throws a gem against the Yanks and g ives us some hope for the future. Since it will be mine and Linda's 44th Wedding Anniversary I would really welcome a in tomorrow.
If it is, we will go nowhere!
I think he's still in AA. Might be going up to AAA soon, but I honestly see him as being a september callup next season most likely.
I agree. Two pitchers are needed. I don't see us getting more than one of the big free agent pitchers.
Have a Happy Anniversary. Don't watch the Sox if you don't want to ruin your day.

Thank you Ted. I might peek at the score on my phone......I can dream, can't I?
I can't wait to see him go.Joon Lee @iamjoonlee
When asked if ready to lead the pitching staff, Buchholz was noncommittal, talked health: “I feel good where I'm at. I feel healthy”
Buchholz is an interesting waiver wire candidate. Someone always needs pitching after the trade deadline has passed.
He isn't close to be interesting. He's a frustrating starter since 2008, when he fail and get his ass handed to him. He still making these annoying brush under the rug comments.
