If Clement can't retunr to his pre-ASG form, our two best pitchers would be Wells and Wake. Last year it was Shill and Petey. How's that for a difference of a year?
Or Arroyo. He does lead the team in Quality Starts -- kind of artificial but he consistently pitches into the 7th allowing a couple runs here and there.
The guy would be regarded as a legit frontline starter if he hadn't had those unfortunate cornrows.
I'd never noticed that nobody can run on Arroyo/Varitek until I just checked the stats.... 16 SB, 11 CS, for his CAREER. 5 SB, 6 CS with the Sox.
