well, here's what our starting pitching looks like right now:
Schilling
Beckett
Daisuke Matsuzaka
Papelbon
Lester/Wakefield
My concern is our bullpen though.
Here's our batting:
SS - Julio Lugo
1B - Kevin Youkilis
DH - David Ortiz
LF - Manny Ramirez
RF - JD Drew
C - Jason Varitek
3B - Mike Lowell
CF - Coco Crisp
2B - Dustin Pedrioa
I definitly expect nothing less than playoffs.
I totally agree...the bulloen, and particulalry closer, are the major issues for me.
I don't see Joel Piniero or Brandon Donnelly being the answer.
I wish Craig Hansen would come around. He would be the perfect answer. After all, that's why we drafted him (he was a closer at Seton Hall, I think).
If not, if Lester can assume a steady starter's role, you're gonna see Papelbon back in the closer spot.
Either that, or they'll have to shop young pitching to the Nationals for Chad Cordero or somebody like that.
Personally, I would rather hang onto our young arms and let Pap close the door.
He was a stud last year and he liked doing it!
