Or, trade one of those pitchers to Texas for a catcher.
Brad is great when he's healthy, but 2008 wasn't that year. With a sore shoulder, it was the worst of his career. Penny's also played his career in home parks that favored the pitcher. His career ERA is 0.8 runs higher on the road than at home. I suspect the designated hitter and Fenway Park will raise his ERA a bit. For one year, however, it's a risk worth taking.
