Cook told WEEI that the cut is \"not healing quite right.\"","spin":"Cook had the stitches removed from his knee and was scheduled to throw 50 pitches in the minors Tuesday, but that plan was cancelled. He will not have a schedule for the continuation of his rehab until he can be examined in Boston following the team's current road trip. Stepping back a bit for a wider view, if the Red Sox are considering any change to their starting staff, Daisuke Matsuzaka (elbow, neck, 60-day DL) is no longer an immediate threat to claim starts that could go to Cook. But we're getting ahead of ourselves there. Cook needs to get healthy himself to be considered for a spot in the rotation.","date":"Wed May 23"},"fullName":"Aaron Cook","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Cook is part of the spaghetti starting pitching crew the Red Sox have assembled: They are going to throw a bunch of flotsam and jetsam against the wall in Fort Myers, Fla., and see what sticks. Cook is the ultimate pitch-to-contact sort, missing bats only by accident. As an extreme ground ball pitcher, he should benefit from Boston's infield, especially if Jose Iglesias ends up playing shortstop. That said, Cook also needs to limit walks, something he has been unable to do the past couple of seasons. If he ever works his way into the rotation, Cook may have some value in deep leagues, as the Red Sox do favor their pitchers with good run support.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Wed Feb 15"},"playerRater30DAY":-4.4,"positionRank":191}
