I echo this statement.
How do you not drive in 100 runs in that lineup? I know its a "dated" stat, but I just dont understand how that happens. I think they will end up regretting signing him.
I also agree with the Crawford statement. Do you really want Ellsbury, Drew, Crawford and Ortiz (all lefties) all in the same lineup going against Sabathia, Lee (assuming they get him) and Pettitte?
I really dont like this FA market. The sox arguably had the 2 best offensive free agents in their hands and let them walk. They were better off resigning V-Mart...offering Pat Burrell a short term deal.....picking up some bullpen arms and trying to trade for Adrian Gonzalez.
