He better sign that offer ASAP before the Red Sox come to their senses.

 

What do you mean, the red sox rotation is gonna be good once they trade Mookie Betts for Sale straight up

Can you imagine if we got Masterson? We might have the best rotation in Sox history, OK modern Sox history.

Sale, Q, Samardja, Masterson (if he rebounds), Danks (if he continues to rebound).

All those other guys in the bullpen? Robin could have some amazing options.

I hope it's Masterson on a 1-year deal, the idea being to flip him midseason if the Sox are out of it, moving Rodon in to the rotation.

I don't think that's realistic. Have you seen the contracts McCarthy and liriano received?

2005 is one of the GOAT staffs and you'd be hard pressed to convince me otherwise.

 

But Greg is right. Sale, Q, Samardzija and two of Masterson, Danks or Rodon could be dominant.

2005 Rotation fWAR ranks: Buehrle 4, Garcia 19, Garland 34, Contreras 38, Hernandez 98

 

Pick up one more good starter and cobble a good year out of Noesi/Rodon in the 5 spot and 2015 could blow 2005 out of the water.

 

Bullpen is a different story. Of all the components of the 2005 team, the bullpen is the all-time epic unit.

For someone who loves that 05 team so much, you really forgot about that pitching staff...

 

And Masterson would not make this rotation that much better. If he bounces back, sure, but the issues he had last year were very alarming. Decrease in velocity, bad control, just being bad in general.
