A Byrd in the Hand

Cleveland's 37 yr old Paul Byrd was aquired by the Red Sox to support the Pitching Rotation. Now Clay Buchholz can go back to Pawtucket and get his head straight, Bartolo Colon can take his time rehabbing, and Curt Schilling can feel less guilty about taking $8 MM to sit on the DL this year. More importantly, the clubhouse is buoyed knowing the Sox brass went out and got someone to help out down the stretch. Let's just hope Byrd can help the Sox staff and doesn't fly South this October like his namesake.
