[quote=Sicilian Babe]Considering teams like the Red Sox who BBTN and ESPN vaunted on how deep their system was now can barely patch together three starters, I think it says something when our biggest gripe is a 5th starter.
Ah, I LOVE the return of DJ! EXACTLY! Remember during the offseason how everyone ridiculed the Yankees for getting CC and AJ (with AJ's injury history I can understand), yet Boston gets Brad Penny and 42-year-old John Smoltz to try and pitch in the AL East and they come away as geniuses? I wonder if any of those "experts" care to change their mind at this point seeing as how Smoltz lasted all of 8 starts (and he was suppose to be their "second-half savior").
