6 games back with long injuries to Dustin, Youkilis and Ellsbury. They come back with GOnzalez and Crawford. RIP

yes, but it applies to the Sox more because they know what their offense will do. Their pitching has an injured past that is lingering with them. Beckett, Lackey, Dice-K, factor in Wakefield's age also Lester was hurting last season, so when your entire rotation has missed time a season ago, it's going to be the main area of concern.

Reportedly the Angels offered him 6 for 108, cmon now at least put in a competitive offer. They gotta go for Beltre now, and he's a Scott Boras client with all the leverage

The entire team was injured last year. Health is an issue regardless. I'm just as concerned about performance.

Boston grossly overpaid of Crawford (you can probably blame Werth for that), and there is a good chance they won't feel all that good in about 3 years when his speed is bound to decline. For the time being though, the Red Sox are going to be a problem. Crawford is going to mash the ball up there, I can just sense it

Yankees just signed Derek Jeter to 3yrs/$51m though. Caption, icon, etc or not, I'd take the last 4 years of Crawford's contract over the next 3 of Jeter.Originally Posted by bkmac

Jeter's contract is definitely in question (for both price and years), but he's on a totally different level, in terms of worth to the franchise.Originally Posted by ScarsOrScabs
