Red Sox Rumor: After Injuries to Lackey and Dice-K, Red Sox are Turning to Kevin Millwood



Over the past few days, the Red Sox have been link to free agents starter, Kevin Millwood. This does not come as a surprise after injuries that forced Dice-K and John Lackey to the 15 day DL. The Red Sox called Kevin Millwood to see if he would go to Triple-A Pawtucket and pitch. Kevin Millwood had a 5.10 ERA in 31 starts last year. Although, the year before that he pitched to a nicer 3.67 ERA in 31 starts. The Red Sox hope he can pitch up to that. Kevin Millwood became a free agent after not being called up by the Yankees and opting out of his contract. Millwood is the ripe old age of 36 (no offense to those who are older) so the Red Sox want a minor league deal with him for only this season. 


Lackey is on the DL for precautionary reasons as he has an elbow injury. While, Dice-K's injury seems much more serious as he has a sprained ulnar collateral ligament. This injury sometimes requires Tommy John Surgery if it is too bad. His injury was caught early but it is pretty bad. He had an MRI Wednesday which should stop him from any baseball activities for 4 weeks and at least 4 more of rehabilitation afterward. He will probably not pitch for 2 months which shows why the Sox need pitching help.


As for their current starters, the Red Sox have Alfredo Aceves (who I saw pitch for Pawtucket earlier this season) and Tim Wakefield filling it to pitch for the two injured starters on the DL. They will pitch on Saturday and Sunday.


Meanwhile, Pap is up to his funny ways:
"This thing might be contagious, dude.  Keep 'em the hell away from me!"


**Update** The Red Sox have signed Kevin Millwood to a minor league deal. Also the Red Sox acquired  Franklin Morales from the Rockies who has a 4.83 ERA with 7.1 K/9 and 5.1 BB/9 in the Majors. They had to DFA Okajima to make room for him on their roster.
