First, Terry Francona has forgot more about baseball then I will ever know.  Second, I love the fact that Clay Bucholz appears to be headed back to the rotation.  I think he is going to be very special, and he and Lester are going to be great starters for years to come.  But, I am concerned about the move to send Justin Masterson to the minors to work on coming out of the bullpen.  I believe young players just want a chance to play Major League Baseball, and they don't care what their role is.  He will have a positive attitude and do the right thing for the team.  I'm just not convinced that what is good for this year (I believe Masterson could be a great asset to the bullpen this year), is the right thing for the future.  Management did not want to threaten the future by trading stud prospects to get Santana, and I think that is very wise.  This move, with Masterson, could stunt his growth as a starter and set him back.  Young arms need innings and a chance to see different situations.  Plus, this could ruin all the positive he gained from the good starts he had made already this season.  I'm not sure but it is a concern.  I trust Terry and he pushes all the right buttons.  I just hope this is not a fix for this year, at the costs of the organizations future.  Terry knows his people and I believe in him and in the BOSTON RED SOX!!!!!  Go Sox!!!!
