The Boston Red Sox are rumored to be searching for a starting pitcher, such as right-handed starter Roy Oswalt, to add to their rotation. However, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington told Nick Cafardo of NESN.com that is unlikely the club will do so.
Earlier today it was reported the Red Sox are in on Roy Oswalt, but most likely out of the Edwin Jackson sweepstakes.
"We wouldn't rule out adding a starter, but I think it's unlikely at this point. "We're going to keep looking for ways to improve the team, including the pitching staff, I wouldn't expect any major changes."
After trading middle infielder Marco Scutaro to the Rockies in what seemed like a pure salary dump, the general consensus was the team would make a strong push for Roy Oswalt. While the team has made an offer to Oswalt, it isn't the $10 million deal he's looking for, putting him in a tough bind.

No new pitching means
that I will cancel my season tickets for this year. No sense just watching the Red Sox finish 3rd or 4th as they certainly will without pitching help. Just look at last September. What a joke.
I bet the thousands of people on the waiting list
will gladly take your tickets. I think that the September collapse was due to bad pitching, but they also had the perfect storm of injuries which caused that collapse, not necessarily just the pitching suck-age.
