| Then Came Bronson—Again? (Jeff Zelevansky/Icon SMI) |
As the world passes your Carmine Hose by, their number one off-season need—starting pitching—remains unfulfilled. And, with a flurry of activity recently, their rotation options are dwindling fast. As Joe McDonald of
ESPNBoston points out,
there are basically four realistic options left:
Kyle Lohse,
Anibal Sanchez,
Matt Garza and
Mike Minor. All have various downsides—ranging from age, to recent injury to excessive cost. There are also a number of 'wild card' options—not the least of which is old friend
Bronson Arroyo—who would need to approve a trade back to his old stomping grounds. What the Sox need is a proven starter who can rack up innings. They had better act soon, or that animal may become extinct.
