This is actually a decent post up till the part about Dice-K. He has won, what, 33 games for the Sox? While most Sox fans are disappointed that he has not proven to be more of what we were hoping for, not many would classify his signing as the worst in Sox history. And I don't think we are sitting around wringing our hands worrying about his status and possible return.
The whole idea behind signing Smoltz, Penny, and even Saito, is to build depth in the most important phase of the game. Pitching.
