What Does Buchholz Departure Mean For the Rotation.

With Clay Buchholz in Portland the Red Sox rotation now includes: Beckett, Byrd, Dice-K, Lester, and Wake. Since they demoted Buchholz that can only mean that Wake is ready to return when he is schuduled to come off of the DL. Since Masterson did not pitch last night and did not warm up I believe they are planning on bringing him back into the rotation if Beckett misses more time than expected. The Globe has Byrd, Lester, and Dice-K as the next three probable pitchers without anyone listed for the Yankees series. It could be Wake, Masterson, and Byrd in that series if Beckett can’t go. You can never have too much pitching.
