One thing you can count on is that over a 162 game season someone will get hurt. Wakefield being probably the most likely candidate. We'll be glad of Hansack.

Originally posted by Imgran View PostThat is insane. Buchholz is cleared for 180 innings -- that's a full-time MLB starter's workload, especially out of the 5 spot where his starts get skipped occasionally. This team needs t odo what it does best in order to win games, not to develop third-tier AAAA pitchers. If Hansack comes into the picture as one of the 5 best options to take a start at some point, so be it, but this isn't the minors and playing time is earned.

Originally posted by Westlake View PostYep, agreed.
Seriously, WHY does he need to start the season in AAA? I dont get that either. Especially if his innings cap is 180 -- how many #5 starters throw that many innings nowadays?

I think - as usual - the Sox/Yankees will be another close race. Sox pull it out, Yankees get the wild card. Anyone's guess after that.

For those that brought up Livan Hernandez, he signed with Minnesota last week. So, he's longer a option.
Originally posted by ChargerLivan seems like a big waste of money.. He would haul in a good 6-10 million for an expected 5.00+ ERA. I would rather see someone like Devern Hansack go out there putting up the same numbers for league minimum pay.

Originally posted by Jager View PostHansack is the type of pitcher that could succeed though. He pounds the strike zone, and has great command along with some good stuff. Plus he's put up good numbers in AAA, so he's definetely the guy that I would like to see if we need some spot starts throughout the year. I'm actually a little surprised that he hasn't come up more in trade talks, and didn't get much action in the bigs last season.

Originally posted by ChrisLDuncan View PostNot so fast, Schilling may not pitch this season. Which means that Boston's rotation would look like:
Beckett
Matsuzaka
Lester
Buchholz
Wakefield/Tavarez
Good news, though: I think you could get Clemens for a fraction of what you got him for last year.
