Red Sox Targeting Starter: Kuroda, Garza, Oswalt, Saunders, Jackson?

You've no doubt heard the news that Boston traded for Andrew Bailey to be the team closer, and you've no doubt read the reactions that more or less come to a common conclusion: what now?

Jon Heyman has the answer this morning by reporting that the Red Sox are now hunting for a starter. He throws out this off-season's usual suspects as possibilities: Hiroki Kuroda, Matt Garza, Roy Oswalt, Joe Saunders, and Edwin Jackson.

Rob Neyer hysterically points out that now that the Sox have figured out their closer and lightly addressed a couple starters, their next most important needs are, "No. 3 Starter, Right Fielder, No. 4 Starter, No. 5 Starter."

  "Number of Red Sox prospects ready to step into the big club's rotation: 0. Ben Cherington's probably not finished. Perhaps he will ask Bobby Valentine to cobble together the requisite performance from right field, from the materials already at hand. But the Boston Red Sox have no excuse for entering a season with only two reliable starting pitchers. And I don't believe that they will."
