"Although his skills are not ever going to let him be anything more than a number five pitcher"

Really? Only a five? I'm not saying he's not pitching that way this year, but I'd think his skills give him to potential to be a number #3

Who would they give for Cliff Lee? Either the team will be fine come the trade deadline, or they'll be out of the hunt. Either way extending Cliff Lee is out of the option, so what's the point of renting him for a couple of months?

I agree with Iannetta being a better option. Napoli has never really impressed me.

I'd be more worried if other big money teams (Yankees/Angles) didn't seem to have 1B locked up. The Mets and Mariners might be a challenge, but I can't think of anyone else with the resources to trump the Howard deal.

First, welcome back Andrew.

Second, I think that even though fans have a greater appreciation for the patient selective hitter, it's all about results. Nomar puts up the numbers he did his rookie season, he'd be loved.

Have you ever torn a tendon? And if so did you have to put tremendous stress on it day in day out? These things can take a very long time to get back to full strength, if ever.

Also, isn't the farm full of OF talent? Are Reddick and Kalish corner OFs only?

Isn't the fact Daisuke hasn't started a game in ST yet bode well for Wake starting the year in the rotation?

I agree. As long as the deal isn't wildly different than Lackey's, I'd say the Sox have a strong starting rotation locked up for the next few years at a a good rate. If he walks, the Sox still can have a strong starting rotation locked up for the next few years at a good rate. They team won't be made or broken with just one pitcher, and that's a good thing.
