Why the Red Sox still could acquire pitcher for one-game playoff 09.27.11 at 6:01 pm ET
By Rob Bradford

While the scenario of the Red Sox playing a one-game playoff if tied with the Rays at the end of the regular season is a ways from coming to fruition, contingency plans are being hatched in preparation for such a meeting. One of options the Sox would have in finding a starting pitcher for such a game — which would be played Thursday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg (first pitch at 4:07 p.m.) — is via a trade.

The Red Sox have still kept an open mind when it comes to being presented the chance to trade for a starter, with such a deal being allowed by Major League Baseball due to the fact that a play-in game doesn’t fall under postseason rules.

The hitch in executing such a trade is the timing, with any deal having to be made prior to the end of the day Wednesday (which is considered the conclusion of MLB’s regular season). And since the team might not know if the game would even be played until the conclusion of Wednesday night’s game, the window for any deal could be extremely small.

    Let Buchholz start and follow him up with Aceves. Problem solved.

    Buchholz is maxed at about 2-3 innings. No chance I start a guy who hasn’t pitched in months. Have to go with Lackey if you cant pull off trade. Has big game experience and pitched well Sunday. No way you throw Wake.
