The Red Sox starting pitching woes continue with Lester hitting the DL. Now Lester, Buchholz, Dice-K, and Rich Hill are all on the shelf, plus Lackey has spent time on the DL and Beckett missed 2 starts with an illness. So the Red Sox rotation now looks like this for the time being.

Beckett
Lackey
Wakefield
Miller
Aceves

Beckett has been putting up his best career numbers. Lackey's been a complete bust this whole season. When Wakefield has quality starts he's effective, but his starts are completely unpredictable. Miller has been a nice addition, but his development in Detroit and Florida has been poor, so hopefully Curt Young helps him reach his full potential. I think Aceves is better suited as a long reliever since he's been pretty good at bailing out bad starters this year, but he's all they have right now unless they want to work Michael Bowden into the rotation.
