for Jerry Sands and Stolmy Pimentel. Seems like a great haul for the Bucs.

It's a nice problem to have for Boston...having 3 -4 guys who can close. But they'll be a lot better off if they slot them in a spot and leave them there as much as they can. Frankly, I think that Tazawa might be the best of the bunch in the long run...AND maybe the short run as well."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Hell, there are several teams in the ML who have more than one guy who's capable of closing, and controversy rarely surfaces...

Red Sox are going to be a mess for a while, especially with the Jays and O's starting to take significant steps forward."Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"

I really like what they are doing "on paper." Will it work? Who knows. But if the options were to do nothing or spend like a drunken sailor, I'll take this route and see what happens. They are not impacting what the team will look like in three years at all. And contrary to popular belief, there will not be a mass jumping off the Tobin Bridge if the team does not win in the next couple of years.Follow me on Twitter @ToddZola

And who knows which part of that starting staff will show up in 2013. Honestly, I think Cherrington is grasping at straws. He probably wants to rebuild, but knows he'll get strung up if he tries it.
