    Personally I think there is a difference between signing players over time and signing 60% of your franchise players in a single offseason. Manny signed SIX years prior the Red Sox World Championship but if we're going to count him as a bought player than he's is the only one from the Red Sox 2007 core. (We gave up two highly touted prospects for Beckett and Lowell was basically seen as a debit at this point. Schilling also took a large package of prospects to land). On the other end of the spectrum is the Yankees who really only have Jeter as non-bought player of their core. As noted CC/AJ/Tex were all bought in one offseason for a whopping price of 450 mil, a price that'd be crazy to try to justify in terms of what other teams have done (because no team has even remotely came close to that). Throw in the 300mil FA Arod and that's basically 3/4 of a billion dollars of bought core players. Again, no comparison here.

    So basically the Red Sox added some role players to fill out the secondary roles in the lineup while the Yankees added what basically amounts to the core of the team? Drew was a sub .800 OPS hitter, Lugo below .650, and Matsuzaka a pretty decent #3. Teixeira was a .950 OPS hitter, Sabathia a 19 game winner, and Burnett a solid #2/3 pitcher. I don't think there is really a comparison here. What the Red Sox did would be comparable to the Yankees adding Damon, Pettitte, and Swisher (you get the idea, good but secondary players). What the Yankees did would be equivalent to the Red Sox adding Manny, Beckett, and Matsuzaka. Again the Yankees basically bought the core of their team

    You don't need to project as a #1 SP to have good value. Someone who pitches 200 innings with a 4.25 ERA has a lot of value and Bowden would be the 3rd or 4th most desirable piece in the trade, not the centerpiece.

    I've always said you can never have enough dirt dogs on the squad. This is a good move by Theo IMO a .779 career OPS catcher for three mil is a dam good deal

    Seriously, I'm guessing he didn't read ANY of the post since the part about the team being owned by China is more or less irrelevant to the point.

    Just as a side note, I'm beginning to doubt some of the validity of WARP due to the huge dependency on FRAA. There is absolutely no way Ellsbury was a -17 FRAA player after a +19 year last year. That's like a 3-4 win swing based on defense alone and is in no way representative of the difference in Ellsbury's fielding over the consecutive years.

    I see us as a much better team here. The Angels (as constructed) are the type of team that does very well in the regular season due to a solid lineup of around ~.800 OPS hitters and 3.80-4.50 ERA SP that are consistent. But their only real impact bat is probably Morales and Weaver/Lackey are solid pitchers but not of the ace variety like Beckett/Lester are. Furthermore their bullpen has zero high-power arms like the Sox do with Bard/Papelbon/Wagner. Once we get their starters out we're going to really open things up. Sox in 3 or 4
