Cespedes Could be moved to LF as he has batted in the 2nd hole & played in LF in his Rehab assignment.

Hi there!

I desperately need advice on the following:

I've made some free agent signings and trades before the start of my first season with the RedSox, and I think I've made some mistakes, that I need to correct. I have problem with my pitching, especially with my Bullpen:

Starting Rotation:

Lester
Beckett (out for 2 months)
Buchholz
Oswalt
Lackey
DiceK (in for Beckett now, he might stay in the rotation for Lackey who might go down, when Beckett is back)

I'm content with my starters, I do like the players, and I like pitching with them.

But my bullpen is a different story:

- Ogando (traded for Jenks and a C prospect, now has 3.80 ERA, but he's been overused, usually after 3-4 solid relief innings, he gave up some runs)
- Aceves (he is a beast, has under 2.00 ERA)
- Bard (He is good also, has under 2.00 ERA)ű
- Bailey (19/18 in saves, 0.80 ERA)

This was the good part, now here comes the problem:

- Fuentes (he's a good lefthander, but gave up some game ending runs against lefties. I use him as a late inning lefty specialist, but it doesn't work out for him. He has over 4.00 ERA, and I really started to dislike him. He is a bad trade candidate, because he is old)
- Bastardo (traded for Matt Albers, he's also a good lefty, but just does not work. over 4.00 ERA. He is a B prospect, young so a good trade candidate)

I also used the following pitchers without success: Atchison, Hill, Padilla, Melancon.

I have Miller and Morales waiting for their callup this season.

My question is: out of the following pitchers, witch 3 I should use, or who I should trade. My only expectation is, that I want to have two lefties in the bullpen...

Fuentes, Bastardo, Atchison, Hill, Padilla, Melancon, Miller and Morales

Thanks in advance!

Therres not much trade value in those guys but I'd send down Miller and keep melancon Bastardo and Fuentes. You need a couple lefties and they just got Melancon. The other guys can be sent down or released ... No trade value there

Co-signed...try your lefties as mop-up guys and build their confidence before putting them in the 8th inning

I think he's using them as specialists not set up men

Yes, the primary setup man is Daniel Bard. (I dont like him starting, and I think today's start against the Tigers will be his last this year IRL)

Long relievers are Ogando and Aceves. Fuentes would be a specialis, especially with the sidearm motion of his.

With Bastardo I'm not sure yet. I was thinking about trading him, but all I can get is B prospects, but he is a B prospect also, so it would not be a step forward. Maybe I will give them time until the end of the year.

Melancon has over 7.00 ERA in about 20 innings, he is in AAA right now, but he might come back...

Bastardo could get you back 2 C's

Throw in Cron or a higher B. Preferably a higher B.

Does anyone really care where I sent this from?
