My Darling Clement
So Matt Clement wants to remain in Boston, but if he is traded, hopes that "it happen sooner than later." The knock on Clement has always been that he is a first half pitcher, and that knock certainly held true last year, when he dominated in the first half of the year and collapsed in the second half (see the Globe article for the specific numbers), and his performance in the ALDS against Chicago was one for the Ages...the Stone Ages.
All that being said, he did still win in double digits for the Sox, and 10 wins in the first half is 10 less wins we have to worry about in the second half, ya know? If I had to choose, I think I'd take Clement over Wells, if only because Clement has not stated a desire to leave the greatest city on Earth. :)
