if it does not work out put Papelbon back in there & have Clemens start.
Papelbon can't close games anymore. Doctor's orders.
I think Theo's going for a 7-man rotation, and no bullpen...

Ah to wear rose colored glasses! You vilify the Yanks rotation as being old, yet your list has 1 proven starter on it...Schilling at 40 years young. How did he do last season?
Be honest - which starting rotation would you rather have? All of the Yankee pitchers best days are waaaaay in the past. The Sox rotation has huge future upside. At some point you have to commit to the future. Good luck.
You mean huge POTENTIAL future upside. BTW, you forgot to add Wakefield to your rotation...he's about 40 also and still one of the Sox better pitchers.
For today, I don't even have to think about it twice.
Yanks all the way!
But you knew that, didn't you?
Lester will be in the rotation and Wakefield will be in the bullpen.
Potential and upside are the same thing. In 1996, the Yanks went for the "potential future upside" with a bunch of young players and dumped a bunch of aging veterans who weren't getting the job done. How did that work out for the Yanks, Jim?
Whoa horsey, calm down.
No doubt the Yanks caught lightening in a bottle in 1996.
That doesn't mean the Sox automatically have nothing but superstars on their hands today.
Let's play the games this summer and see what happens.
Showalter, Cashman and - <<gulp >> - George did a fantastic job in 1996 identifying a bunch of young talent that carried the Yanks for years.
Who cares about all these guys lets get clemens back on the yanks
First lets get a closer, then we can worry about bringing back Clemens!:beer:
Closer? last i knew we still had the best closer to ever play the game
