JCG,
Contrast that with the Red Sox signing (yesterday) former Cardinal Edward Mujica to a 2yr/$9.5M deal. Are the Dodger's printing their own money out there?
I really, really like this Mujica signing. I love the depth the Sox seem to have built and fact that this bullpen (especially the back end) looks pretty flexible in that you can swap around the set up and closer roles on those days when certain guys are unavailable and feel confident that the job will get done.
Sox bullpen could be :Miller, Workman, Breslow, Badenhop, Mujica, Tazawa, and Uehara. I can't help but wonder if the Red Sox are looking to make some additional pitching moves with the bottom of their starting rotation. The tea leaves say "yes".
I love the pitching staff. I would like to see Dempster and Peavy traded. They both have value as innings eaters. Put Workman in the rotation. He pitched well as a starter last year. If he fails bring up a prospect. Keep Doubrant. He pitched well from May through August and again in the post season. He's young, talented and under financial control. The big issue is signing Napoli or someone who can perform the same from the right side of the plate.
