5th Starter:

Do you guys think Rauch will step up and finally live up to the hype and grab the spot. Or maybe Schoenweis, since he was promised a shot at it during spring training. Or maybe even Josh Stewart, if that blood clot has cleared up. I know the Sox aren't gonna go the free agency route for it, so who has the best shot?

I don't think they'll "give" the position to Shoney, or anyone else. The position will be earned, hopefully. Depending on the plans for Danny Wright, it will probably be between Shoney and Rauch, or Stewart if healthy. Cotts needs some time in AAA, I believe.

 

It wouldn't shock me to see Jon Rauch win that slot.

I didn't mean to make it sound like it was gonna be "given" to Schoen, but that he is the hands on favorite to get the job, because he came in and did a job he didn't want to do. I think KW asked him to be bullpen help in 2003, on the condition that he would get a legitimate shot at the Starting Rotation in 2004

That was his role with the Angels. They didn't think he could do the job, not sure why we think he can all of a sudden. The Angels had a solid bullpen and crappy rotation and still didn't want him in there.
