Your teams starting rotation
Posted on 1/28/10 at 12:44 am

What is your teams starting rotation looking like for the upcoming season?
Now that the Sox have signed Beltre I think it's safe to say that there won't be any blockbuster trades involving Buchholz. So as it stands right now these are the starting pitchers that the Sox have to work with.
1-Lester
2-Beckett
3-Lackey
4-Matsuzaka
5-Buchholz
?-Wakefield
?-Bonser
I know that we've had this debate before and the situation always seems to work itself out, but assuming that Lester, Beckett, Lackey, Dicek, and Buchholz are healthy and ready to go on opening day, what becomes of Wakefield?
Just for kicks this is what Bill James predicts for the Red Sox starting 5:
Jon Lester - 206 IP, 3.84 ERA.
Josh Beckett - 221 IP, 3.62 ERA.
Daisuke Matsuzaka - 195 IP, 4.02 ERA.
John Lackey - 208 IP, 3.81 ERA.
Clay Buchholz - 161 IP, 3.91 ERA
Tim Wakefield - 96 IP, 4.03 (ERA seems insanely low).
With their improved defense the Sox could have one hell of a starting staff in 2010.

1. Tim Hudson
2. Derek Lowe
3. Tommy Hanson
4. Jair Jurrjens
5. Kenshin Kawakami
all 5 will win 20+ games and have ERA's in the mid 2.0's. Championship

O's:
Millwood
Matusz
Guthrie
Berken
Arrieta/Hernandez/Tillman
It will be a successful year if Guthrie is no longer in the rotation by season's end because of the youngsters coming through the system

For the Indians:
No Cliff Lee? No CC Sabathia? No Problem!!!!
Aw who the hell am I kidding:
Westbrook
Carmona
Masterson
Mitch Talbot?
Jeremy Sowers?
Aaron Laffy?
David Huff?
Indians are so fricked this year. Westbrook hasn't pitched in the MLB in 2 years after tommy johns surgery, Carmona was getting pitching tips from Kige, and Masterson pitched like shite after last being acquired last year. I don't even want to talk about those other clowns.

I read somewhere the other day that Laffey definitely had a spot in the rotation.
Westbrook
Carmona
Masterson
Laffey
I would guess Talbot is in there also..... who knows? It's going to be shitty anyway.

Going to be sad that I may be more interested in the Clippers than the Indians this year. At least they'll win some games.

2. Ricky Nolasco
3. Anibal Sanchez

Was checking out some youtube clips of Huntington Park the other day. Looks awesome.

all I know is the Rangers are in serious trouble every 5 days
Posted on 1/28/10 at 10:49 am to b rod lsu
It's an awesome facility - words don't do it justice. They run some great promotions too. With the flurry of sending people up and down and trading for prospects the Clips were very unstable last year. With all the prospects the Indians have been getting it's a good way to see tomorrow's team.

Ben Sheets
Justin Duchscherer
Dallas Braden
Brett Anderson
Trevor Cahill/Gio Gonzalez/Vin Mazzaro
If Sheets and Duke are healthy, could be a top rotation

1 - Feldman
2 - Harden
3 - Holland
4 - Hunter
5 - Lewis?
McCarthy?
Harrison?
Then Francisco, Wilson, Oliver, O'Day, and Feliz out the bullpen. The main problem will be health with Harden and Francisco.
