Joe Maddon on Teixeira

Joe Maddon said today he is not worried about the Yankees signing Teix because, he says, pitching wins games and he’s got great pitching.
Listen to him Theo!!!
Our battered 2008 lineup hit better than our equally battered rotation and Pen managed to pitch. Listen to him Theo? Act soon before the window is closed.
Sign the best available ACE-caliber starting pitcher. That would be Ben Sheets.
Sign the best available relief pitcher. That would be Brian Fuentes.
The Sox used 23 pitchers in 2008: Keep Buchholz and Bowden in AAA until they are fully ready.
And Keep Masterson in the Pen, with Fuentes, RRammo and the old crew, to make it lights out.
And while you are at it, to make up for losing Teix’s output, might as well rebuild the Bench for power, and get catchers with Big Bats, like Shoppach and Kottaras.
