Red Sox Could Use Six-Man Rotation

Boston Globe - The Red Sox could use a six-man rotation in the coming weeks, although it's not a long-term solution.

John Smoltz will make his debut for Boston next week, which has forced manager Terry Francona to make a big decision.

"But that wouldn't be the worst thing for a short period of time. Again, not for a long period because guys don't pitch enough. With days off, the All-Star break, you have too many good pitchers that won't pitch enough. But for a short period of time we could live with that, yeah." [READ]
