I don't ever see the Red Sox doing that. The only chance you see Mike Timlin leave the team this year is if he gets traded. Or injured, of course.

Since it ended up being Taveras first, I think the Colon for Timlin scenario is no worse than 50-50, with Buchholtz to the minors being the other option. But why not keep Buchholz in the long relief-spot starter role?Jack Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129607755816264057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-27110335841832784402008-05-12T19:46:00.000-07:002008-05-12T19:46:00.000-07:00Colon arrivesTimlin departsWhat a beautiful day th...<I>Colon arrives<BR/>Timlin departs</I><BR/><BR/>What a beautiful day that would be.Sarah Haendlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08991465907384678768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-34525601001343796222008-05-12T19:41:00.000-07:002008-05-12T19:41:00.000-07:00My wish:Colon arrivesTimlin departsMy wish:<BR/><BR/>Colon arrives<BR/>Timlin departsallanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-62391926601616504492008-05-12T19:25:00.000-07:002008-05-12T19:25:00.000-07:00Since I have used "husband" for almost 32 years, i...Since I have used "husband" for almost 32 years, it works just fine for me.

First of all, Lugo has played a full season plus whereas Pedroia was a rookie with a month or so of experience at the time.
