Go ahead and find me a quote where Epstein says that he'd rather have Fossum than Colon and how it had nothing to do with saving $10 million to spend on depth that the Red Sox massively lacked.
Everyone shits on their rotation every single year. Every year, it's The Sox have no one besides Pedro, yet every single year, the Red Sox have one of the top 5 starting rotations in baseball. That's not the problem.
I'd rather have that fat old spic Colon than Fossum, but given a finite budget and $10 million, I'd rather have bullpen and bench depth and OMG Kevin Millar is going to have a monster year.
