True, but this is a damn good rotation.

Imagine we never traded Penny for Lo Duca and Mota- Really, what did they get us in a Trade.

 

Beckett gone I understand- I am happy with Hanley over Josh.

 

Olsen

Penny

Hendrickson

Johnson

Sanchez/Mitre/Miller/Nolasco/Volstad

 

Imagine that- because for what we got for penny, isnt around anylonger. You would have a top rotation with him still around.

So you expected the Red Sox to give up their top prospect for nothing?

I'd rather have our current team which is 1-2 years from fruition once the AA class of pitchers, Maybin, Coghlan, G. Sanchez, and Morrison, are ready to get to the big leagues.

LOL at these "all-time" rosters. That can done with any club in the Majors. Besides, I think a healthy JJ, Anibal, Mitre plus Olsen and Hendrickson is stout enough.

I miss our elite pitching. Beckett Penny Burnett Pavano Willis.

Those last too aren't elite anymore, and you can make the argument that Beckett was great but not elite when he was here.

Giving Livan's year, he might make a case for best active pitcher who used to play for the Marlins.

That would be a rotation.

Sans the World Series, I'm very dissatisfied with Beckett's tenure as a Marlin

I can't go sans the World Series. That's a big sans. Also, he had a pretty good year in 2005, but D-Train overshadowed it.

The thing is, he never quite was what he could be (and is now) with us, except for the 2003 Postseason... everything else was a glimpse, or a flash or a "what could be if he stayed healthy a full season"...

 

Yeah, World Series heroics kinda gives him a bullet proof vest for criticism, but... I can't help but feel slighted when I think of what Josh could have been here...
