Gordon Edes writes a good piece on the state and future of the Red Sox bullpen. http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/182/sports/A_reason_for_taking_bullpen_by_the_horns+.shtml
A couple of other points:
1. Kim should be pitching the most critical innings. Whether it is the eighth, ninth or both innings. If Kim pitches the eighth, he does NOT need to pitch the ninth as well. The most appropriate pitcher should go in the ninth.
2. Timlin should not pitch to tough left-handed batters.
To date in 2003 (AVG/OBP/SLG):
LHB 298/310/512
RHB 184/223/296
From 2000-2002:
LHB 273/334/413
RHB 235/291/383
3. Fox will not be an asset unless he can throw strikes. If he is walking batters, Fox should be released.
