For some unknown reason, the Red Sox have
not made the logical move to place Aaron Cook in the starting rotation and keep Daniel Bard in the bullpen. Cook has been impressive at Triple A Pawtucket—going 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA in three starts. He goes again tonight in the second game of a PawSox double-header. If the Sox don't pull the trigger on Cook by May 1st, he is free to pursue major league deals with other clubs—
and there are already interested parties. Cook is a 10-year MLB veteran, and while he has slipped in the last two years (9-18), he is certainly a better option than anything else in sight. Isn't this a no-brainer?
