Report Card – Starting Pitchers

2008 Report Card for the Red Sox Starting Pitchers

Dice-K B Pitched well on the road, got the W’s but high pitch counts and walks put pressure on the bullpen.

Jon Lester A- Almost untouchable at Fenway and very good on the road, he was the best starter this season.

Josh Beckett B- Multiple strange injuries throughout the season took thier toll, not the ace he was last year.

Tim Wakefield B- Carried the team while injuries were rampant but still had his rough patches.

Clay Buchholz D Never could get right, 2 good starts do not make up for the multiple disastrous ones.

Bartolo Colon C- Had a few good starts when the team needed them but he seemed to be always on the mend.

Justin Masterson B Showed some great potential as a starter, we’ll see what the future holds.

Paul Byrd B+ Great pickup by Theo, he did exactly what he was supposed to do.

Curt Schilling F $8 million for a one-hopper to the plate.
