At this point in the year, knowing what we know now after four months of the season in the books, I think one could make the argument that Rick Porcello is the key to the rotation. The most popular pick would be David Price (and I am not at all convinced that would be a bad argument), but at this point I think we know what Price is for the most part. He’s been good much more than he’s been bad. Porcello, meanwhile, has been up and down all year, and while he’s pretty much always a good bet to get deep into a game and save the bullpen, you don’t know what the results will be.
