The readers have spoken—and not exactly ambiguously. As the chart shows, fully 69% of respondents to our latest
FenwayNation Poll say starting pitching should be the number one off-season priority for
Dave Dombrowski. Interestingly, dealing with the quagmire that is the
Hanley/Panda situation finished second at 18%, while fixing the team's uneven relief pitching comes in at 13%. Clearly, the fan base senses the need for a
true #1 ace in the starting rotation for 2016.
