Mussina keeps piling on the wins and Karstens is on fire. So in a word, no don't pick up Byrd unless Karstens comes back to earth... and even then its a maybe.

Byrd's WHIP has been too high for him to be effective. He'll get wins in Boston but with your staff it can't be too much of a need...

Byrd will be better on the road for Boston.He gave up 2 shots last night over the monster, a trend which I say will continue in his home starts.

Your staff is fine without him.

I'd probably pick up Byrd for Karstens. I picked up Byrd in a few leagues and all things being equal, I'm not a fan of either startr ... but I have more faith in Byrd staying consistant enough on a good team like Boston, then Karstens doing what hes doing on Pitt.

Karstens isn't great but he'll last you until the Price machine hits home around Sept. 1.

Paul Byrd will not be an effective fantasy pitcher in Boston. His WHIP is too high and we all know how much of a bandbox Fenway is. Stick with Karstens.

Nah I would stick with what you got man...

As Poon said Mussina is pilling on the wins and Karstens has been pitching real well for Pitt so I would stay with what you have.

I'd pick up Byrd ~ he's a better bet than Brad Penny right now...
