They don't have a solid 7th and 8th inning arm to get to Mo. They have little choice but to try and extend their starters to the sixth inning almost every game.<BR/><BR/>If the starters are healthy, then it can work. But every starter had health issues last year. Can AJ consistently throw 6+ innings every start? Can Wang pull it off?<BR/><BR/>The Sox have enough depth that they can mix and match their arms to give their starters more of a break. Could they do it all year? No. But they can do it longer than the Yankees, and that's the goal.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416608758785325468noreply@blogger.com
