Just looking at the Sox rotation, they're currently 13th in MLB in xFIP, 16th in FIP, 3rd in K/9, and 7th in GB%. But dead last in ERA. It's still not a great rotation by any stretch, but there's a lot of room for improvement, and a SP acquisition probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

As for the bullpen, that's a very good question. Tazawa I guess? Blah.
While a good point, I'd also add it's still April. Sox rotation is as much a wait and see rotation as any in the majors. Definitely not buying anything, ERA, FIP, SIERA, whatever, until at least June.

Once again, Clay gets people on base and slows the game down way too much and gets slammed! Dude needs to get a grip!

Valid point. It is a small sample size.

Offense gives pitching 8 runs... yet so far the pitching gives up 10... pathetic! By June the Red Sox will have NO bullpen

Reports are suggesting the sox could go after Papelbon some even mentioning Hamels coming as well. I don't see Hamels happening but could see a deal for pap.

Horrific from Buchholz yesterday, the pitching is destroying decent run production. Going to be a long season unless the starting pitchers start eating some innings.

Sure Paps would help the bullpen and Koji but he certainly can't help the major need which is starting pitching.

Boston is going NOWHERE with that pathetic pitching staff. Gonna be a long season.

Amazing day when Mujica is the best of a horrible lot of pitchers.

This is your season, Red Sox fans. Announcers rifling through Elias stats for records - and not the good kind of records for you. Everything you tools hoped for with Cespedes' magic arm and bat, and you practically guaranteed the genius of giving away and then getting back Lester. LOL!

Instead you're headed for a last place finish, and will be left making troll posts about ARod when the Bombers slip into a playoff spot.

Enjoy your disaster. I bet you're getting used to it again.

LOL at this clown talking shit. You seem to be speaking from experience.

They are 19th in SwStr and 23rd in F-Strike. (terms how K and BB may play out)

29th in IFFB rate(notable for BABIP)

If you are talking about stats that actually stabilize quicker..

They are also 2nd in FuC, 4th in K_Y and 10th in OU+. Not too bad.

This would explain the the message on my cell phone from the Mets FO. Obviously they are looking to bolster their line up with some veteran schlong :thumb:
