It's the first week of May! Just because the Sox haven't gotten hit like the Yankees have to this point doesn't mean that rotation depth doesn't eventually become an issue. Like I said, the Sox could afford to pass on this, that doesn't mean it would have been a bad idea for them to make it happen. This is a fantastic move for the Yankees and should make the rest of the season that much more interesting.
