Interesting Comparison

The Red Sox' top three starters this coming year will be Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling and Derek Lowe. Over the last two years, those three have combined for 1,236 innings and a 2.97 ERA.

The A's top three starters this coming year will be Mark Mulder, Tim Hudson and Barry Zito. Over the last two years, those three have combined for 1,236 innings and a 2.97 ERA.

The Yankees' top three starters (probably) will be Mike Mussina, Javier Vazquez and Kevin Brown. Over the last two years, those three have combined for 1,166 innings and a 3.48 ERA.

And then consider this: The Red Sox' top 3 starters will be a combined one-hundred years old, the Yankees' top 3 will be a combined 101 and the A's big three will be a combined 80 years old. Which threesome would you rather have?

I'm sticking with the youngsters. Now all we need is a little offense and a closer.
