By the time Schilling gets back, the rotation should be all set. Sure, we could get younger, but that can be done in the offseason. What the Sox need most by July 31st is a solid middle reliever. Timlin has been outstanding as the setup man, and Foulke has been pitching like Foulke lately, but Embree and Mantei just aren't getting it done. Myers does a great job as a lefty specialist, but we need a reliable guy that can consistently pitch the 7th, or even the 8th to give Timlin a break.
