Ok, this is getting ridiculous
Rumor has it that Randy Johnson might be available in trade. Suprise, surprise. The Yankees and Red Sox are both actively pursuing him. In case you haven’t been keeping score at home, these would be the projected starting pitching rotations for the two teams if they happened to get one of the nastiest lefties to ever sport a mullet on a major league mound.
Pedro Martinez
Randy Johnson
Curt Schilling
Derek Lowe
Fill in the blank
Randy Johnson
Mike Mussina
Jose Contreras
Javier Vazquez
Kevin Brown
Even if the Yankees got Randy Johnson, I would still give the edge to the Red Sox in pitching staff, because I don’t think Mike Mussina is nearly as good as either Pedro Martinez or Curt Schilling anymore. Maybe 4 years ago he was on their level. Contreras and Vasquez are relative unknowns and Kevin Brown is a complete unknown because of health.
I will admit it is kind of fun to talk about, but it is yet another example of a seriously ill game with almost no competitive balance.

The blank you mention would certainly be Tim Wakefield, who ain’t too bad himself.
I think this is a lot of talk.

I didn’t know whether it would be Wakefield or Kim.

Kim should be packaged up and mailed to Abu Dhabi.

Just for the record and apropos of nothing, that’s the most flattering picture ever taken of The Big Unit.

he still looks like a 70’s pornstar with the mullet and stache.
