Paying a guy who had a .310 wOBA last season 12+ million dollars to play RF....genius.

boras is doing cart wheels right now

oh, he's a Boras client. That explains it then...

I'd hire Boras as my client too if I were a pro player. The guy works magic!

Eh, it's only 3 years and still almost half of what Crawford is making per/year, lol.

Boston Red Sox: dumping ****** contracts to make room for more ****** contracts.

I wonder if there's an Ellsbury blockbuster in the works for a pitcher or if we'll just run with this...

1. S Victorino RF
2. L Ellsbury CF
3. R Pedroia 2B
4. L Ortiz DH
5. R Napoli 1B
6. R Middlebrooks 3B

i would want to know how things are structured, if it's like 2 years with an option on a 3rd and incentives that can bring the contract up to 39 mill total that would just fine and make sense.

Trading Ellsbury would be smart. Otherwise, that's a pretty good 1-6.
