| Boston-Born Rich Hill |
After stating the obvious (that the Red Sox need another quality starter to be
real competitors for a World Series championship), Ryan Fagan of
The Sporting News suggests that
erstwhile Carmine Hoser Rich Hill might be the answer. After resurrecting his career with Boston during the second half of 2015 (2-1, 1.55 ERA), Hill has continued to perform well this year with Oakland. So far, the 36-year old has gone 8-3 with a stellar 2.25 ERA. Would
Billy Beane ask for the prospect "moon" for Hill? Sure. But,
Dave Dombrowski has never shied away for parting with
some young talent for a bigger short-term payoff. They can work out something reasonable. The Red Sox
need some security after
David Price and
Steven Wright. While
Zack Greinke would be ideal, they may have to "settle" for Boston native Hill. Hey, it would
also give them three lefties in the rotation (Price, Hill, and E-Rod)!
