Been mentioning this.........
I'm trying to think of a pitcher that came in and did well the first year...... it's been a while. Hell.. Gange Beckett, Porcello, Price.... Lester..... Lackey........
I'm not sure if it's a Boston thing........ but adjustment to coming here by many recently hasn't been great the first year......
and......... I was good with letting Lester walk........... but then started to think that we need to pay more to people who have shown that they can perform here......
Pretty much....... any person who comes in and does well........... I think we should pay more to keep them.............. like Lester and Beltre as examples......
I also think any NL pitcher coming over to Boston has a huge awakening coming....
