hey, it's been a while since i last posted here, so 'hi' to everyone again. as for the matsuzaka deal, i'm still a little questionable. sure he is a good pitcher. we can project this and that, but i'm going to hold off judgement on wether this was a good deal or not. at the beginning of the season he may be lights out like how beckett was at the beginning because the hitters in the AL were not used to him; the same could go for dice. ok, so he lit up the japaneese leagues. so did nomo. and another hing, offering a 6 year deal (?), if he ends up being a total bust, which i hope he isn't, but hypothetically speaking, the sox are going to have to eat his major contract because no one will want him. sorry if this is all obvious or already discussed, i didn't backread. there's my two cents.
