New Poll Question:

If the playoffs started now, who should be the Sox’s No. 4 starter?

  • Tim Wakefield (returns 9/21)
  • Daisuke Matsuzaka
  • Paul Byrd
  • No one, go three-man

My pick was Dice-K because unlike Wake and Byrd, he can be transcendent. I don’t think the Sox will consider short rest unless/until their backs are to the wall. Byrd has been a big help to us, but I can’t see him making the playoff roster. Wakefield is a question mark day in and

As always, new poll is up to the right…vote away and argue it out in the comments.
