I think he is solid pitcher, I honestly do. And he looked pretty sharp this series. Although I will be a little nervous in the 9th when we are facing the Yanks in the ALCS in a close one.
He is the BoSox best option though, I am A LOT more worried about the set up men, plus Williamson is off his game as I guess his wife is very sick.
It will be interesting to see how they work the starting rotation though, I thought Burkett might have pitched his way out of the rotation 2 nights ago, but there is a lot of talk here that they are going to go with.
Game 1 Pedro
GAme 2 Wake
Game 3 DLowe
Game 4 Burkett
Game 5 Pedro
Because they want DLowe to pitch at home. I would much rather see them go DLowe and Pedro the first two, and then if we are down use the three man rotation.
I am not too worried about Oakland are you?? On the other hand I think the Yanks will have their hands full with the Twins.
