well, we only have about a week left of spring training the Sox have announced the top 4 in the rotation.
Beckett
Lester
Dice-K
Tim Wakefield
It may suprise some people that Wakefield is already announced as a starter and not still being considered for the bullpen. The Sox also announced that Justin Masterson will begin his year as a reliever.
So that leaves Brad Penny, Clay Buckholtz, and John Smoltz for that 5th starter spot. Smoltz prob. won't be ready for opening day but I wouldn't call early May out of the question.
So I ask you, Penny or Buckholtz? Clay is having a terrific spring, but Penny was just given the contract, wouldn't you think they would want to give him the chance and maybe start Buckholtz in AAA?
Let me know!
