Can we please have this problem?
The Sox have agreed to a one year deal, with Wade Miller.
The Astros didn't want him because of his health/attitude/funny first name, etc., but this could be a great signing for the Red Sox.
Of course, it raises the question - if he is healthy, who drops out of the rotation?
Well between Curt Schilling, Wade Miller, and David Wells, it is definitely a good idea to have 6 starting pitchers. The probability of all three of them being healthy at the same time, and that all of the other three starters (Clement, Wakefield, Arroyo) are also healthy and clicking, is probably somewhat low.
Here's hoping that Tito, for most of the season, has to decide which of these six guys belong in the starting 5.
Good signing.
