Since I first heard Fossum's last name mentioned with the Red Sox, I can't help but associate him with Tony Fossas. And then, when I see Casey pitch I keep thinking I'm watching the younger version of Fossas. I don't think Fossum will amount to much. He doesn't seem to have any sort of a fastball and one can only throw so many curves. The one guy that really intrigues me, though, is Bronson Arroyo. I think Epstein was able to part with Casey due to Arroyo's pitching last season. Don't be surprised if Arroyo is the 5th starter next year.
By the way, what was the point of picking up Jeff Suppan and BK if they were going to leave them off the ALCS roster? Are both now eligible for arbitration?
