Red Sox Off Season News

Ok so I am out of the country -almost for 3 weeks and the Sox make some moves. 

Red Sox News. 

Signed Youk to a 4 year Deal

Signed Lil Dusty to a 4 Year Deal

Signed John Smoltz to a 1 Year Deal

Signed Roco Baldelli

Bottom line for me are these are all good moves, but at the end of the day our success will lie with the Starting Pitching Especially Josh Beckett and Egg Roll #1. 

GOT DOODLE?

In a obviously over the top gesture - the Arsenal Labradoodle has gone "High Class" in an effort to be named the "First Dog" - Well I will say - he doesn't look too bad. 

Brad Penny - Whop de Frigging do

So the Red Sox signed Free Agent Brad Penny to a one year deal worth $5.0 Million the other day.  La De Frigging Da. 

This is the equivalent to you or I  throwing $100.00 we don't need on a single number on the Roulette Table.  You don't expect it to hit, but if it does you get $4000.00 return.   Lot of people are spending a lot of time analyzing this move, but it is as simple as that.  I look for the same amount of success from this as they had with Bartolo - 5  wins at most in 2009.   Million Dollars a win - a bargin in Boston - but not much to get excited over.
