you realize that it is jock sniffing, blind loyalists liek yourself that enable ownership to believe that they can get away with taking an entire off season off and giving us nothing
Lackey is a bit of addition by subtraction, but nothing about this rotation says 'solid'....Lester is decent, Beckett can go screw, Clay is 'healthy', Felix is a massive wild card, and Bard is 'the most talented #5 starter in the league'.....yikes
don't even pretend to defend the bullpen.......I don't consider Ross/Sweeney as a replacement for Drew, he was largely invisible last year anyhow...they replaced Reddick
what they should have done is spent SOME of the money they had by not having to pay Drew, but they pocketed it and gave us table scraps
