Prediction: I think he’ll be up early because of ERod injury and Wright suspension, then he’ll be back up later in the season, at which time he will stick in the rotation. Brian Johnson should follow Bryce Brentz out the door–maybe packaging him, Hembree, and Marrero could bring back a useful piece or two. Porcello–if Sox pay half for 18 & 19, they could get something for him. Pomeranz? Make him a QO after the season. And, finally, deal Kimbrel at the trade deadline to a NL contender who wants to part with 4 prospects, just like the Sox did.
