has their been any rumors in chicago about the Sox making a trade since Marte is injured.

 

Marte is not that badly hurt. I wouldn't be surprised to see him this series, maybe even tonight. He was having no pain yesterday, but they just didn't have him throwing.

 

With luck, the days off will have been good for him.

The most pressing need for this team is a sure-fire reliever & not a starter.

Our starter's era is a 0.25 better than the Twins. Our reliever's era is nearly a full run worse than the Twins.

 

Our pen has 3 guys having career years in Politte, Cotts, & Hermy.

Will that last all season? Who knows. Nathan, Romero, & Crain instill more confidence for the Twins.

 

The next 3 are struggling: Marte, Viz, & Shingo. Will they turn it around?

Probably not all 3 of them.

 

So we have at best a pen that is better than most but a far cry from the Twins. Guardado would be a nice addition. But if we could land two fine arms that would be best.

Exactly, bullpen is a constant need. You can never have toom any good arms there. Good bullpens can determine the outcomes of seasons. Just ask the Braves all those regular season wins and bullpen implosions during the playoffs.

There isn't a team in the league that couldn't use the Jason Schmidt pre-05. I just don't understand what is wrong with him. Clearly, there is shoulder trouble. THe other part might be as simple as having to learn how to pitch at 90-92. Jason has been brutal but if you had a healthy Schmidt, you get a guy who can outduel the Santanas of the world which is special
