Could Scott Kazmir become a Red Sox?

LA Times:Scott Kazmir has made no progress in his minor league rehabilitation stint with triple-A Salt Lake, and it now appears to be a matter of time before the Angels release the struggling left-hander and swallow his $14.5-million contract.Kazmir, making his fourth start for Salt Lake on Thursday night, gave up six runs -- five earned -- and six hits in 3 2/3 innings. He walked five batters, hit three batters and struck out three. Of his 91 pitches, 52 were strikes. He was so erratic that three of his pitches went behind right-handed batters.Kazmir, who spent a month in extended spring training in hopes of finding a consistent delivery and release point, has given up 23 earned runs in 13 2/3 innings for a 15.15 earned-run average in his four starts with 16 walks and 13 strikeouts.

If Scott Kazmir gets released and goes through waivers and no one selects because of his high price tag he could become a great bargain for the Red Sox as a 5th starter. Even though Wake has been pitching great he is 44 years old. Also we have Kevin Millwood in AAA but in all honesty who would you rather have Millwood or a 27 year old lefty in Kazmir. Don't get me wrong Kazmir is not the same pitcher he was 3-5 years ago but he still can get people out when he puts his mind to it. This reality might not come true but you never know weirder things have come true.

PS: How filthy would the Red Sox be if somehow Kazmir slips into the Sox grasp? Only time will tell.
