Anyone else concerned about J.D. Drew and Brad Penny?
I am. The setback with Penny isn’t terribly bad because of the crazy depth the Sox have in pitching and the fact that the Sox have three days off in the first 15 games of the season. It’s possible the Sox could go to a four-man rotation and not miss a beat.
Drew, though, I’m concerned about. The team and Drew keep brushing off the concerns, but not for nothing did he head back to Boston and get an injection. If he’s out, that means there’s a platoon situation with Rocco Baldelli and Brad Wilkerson with Jeff Bailey (probably) on the bench.
If both Drew and Penny are out, it could really weaken the team.
