It seems Nelson has become a AAAA pitcher. He is great in AAA, but can’t handle the majors – at least not the AL East.

Sox need more decent bullpen arms.

I agree. It is funny how before the season started, people were talking about how good the pitching was going to be, and bemoaning the offense. The offense has been incredible, and the pitching has been suspect (obviously). I think that if they do get some good bullpen arms, they are going to be playing some great baseball.

people who bemoaned the offense were dumb imo. I knew they would be one of the best hitting teams. But the pitching is surprising but they still have a deep bullpen with ramon, manny (hurt now), oki, bard, pap. I’m sure a lot of teams would trade their guys for those 5.

Next up: Boof Bonser
ArmchairGM
No kidding. Can’t seem to do anything right with his pitches thus far.

Damned straight. Boof looks and pitches like that fat old guy who comes on in relief in the Budweiser commercial, where the bar patrons ask the manager for more time to party. This guy is gonna get outright released within the week.

All this back and forth with soft tossers like Joe Nelson (who i wanted to see anyway) Schoenweiss, older finished guys like Embree and the abundance of useless former mlb/AAAA types like Castro, Ramon A. Ramirez, Baird, Paronto who even stink it up at the AAA level… One would think the Boston FO would finally give Sox draftees like Dustin Richardson, a hard throwing lefty who may have some trouble with control, but is still better than the rubbish they have been calling up on the roller coaster and Robert Manuel, a soft tossing righty who has been nearly unhittable thus far and has a sparkling 1.08 ERA and 28K, 7BB .093 WHIP in 32IP this year. All by far better than anyone else at the AAA squad.
