BostonHerald.com - Boston Red Sox & MLB: Pain: Sox' dilemma one for the ages: "David Wells and Curt Schilling [stats, news] are a combined 80 years and 4 months old, and the latter underwent offseason ankle surgery after a heroic October in a magical 2004. Schilling is now paying the price for that. And the Red Sox [stats, schedule] suddenly have a starting rotation that looks disturbingly thin.
But really, what did you expect? The Red Sox made some cost-efficient decisions over the winter, which is a nice way of saying they took the cheap way out. And now they have three starters on the disabled list - Wells, Schilling and Wade Miller [stats, news] - and there is legitimate reason to wonder just how good any of them will be if and when they return. "
Red Sox should never have gone into the season with 4-5 key free agents. This was a recipe for disaster; we hear that the Red Sox may be changing their logo to a Red Cross. -NF
