Re: Carl Crawford to Boston
20 million plus for a corner outfielder with little power doesnt seem to make much sense.Baseball do what it do

Re: Carl Crawford to Boston
Boston looks like they have really upgraded with Gonzales and Crawford. I'm not that impressed with their catching position, but the rest of their line up really looks formidable.Comment

Re: Carl Crawford to Boston
Here is my theory:Originally posted by shoremen44
2b Dustin
Of Crawford
1b Gonzalez
DH Papi
3b Youk
Of Drew
SS Scutaro
C Russell Martin (My prediction is they sign him)
LF Ellsbury
They are stacked in rotation as well it looks like 2011 will be a huge year for them.Comment

Re: Carl Crawford to Boston
I think they overpaid for Crawford, hope he doesn't end being another J.D.Drew......The line up looks impressive, another solid catcher for insurance and hopefully the staring rotation stays healthy......I say if Dice-K and Papelbon don't produce we get rid of them quickly!
Thanks, BobbyComment

Re: Carl Crawford to Boston
Maybe they will try to get Ryan Doumit to catch, don't really know if he is much of an upgrade from Salty or Varitek though. They could also consider Molina and maybe just dump Salty all together?Comment

Re: Carl Crawford to Boston
The Sox definitely paid alot, but its all about the fan base. They heard the grumbling amongst the fans and got worried and delivered.
Last year was tough......an $8 beer.....$40 parking..... and a $100 cheap seat.....A good seat is $175 face! Rumor has it that the Sox lost 10,000 people on the season ticket waiting list....ouch!
Bobby...you said it on Papelbon and Dice and I agree!Comment

Re: Carl Crawford to Boston
not sure about 100 for a cheap seat- a loge box is that much and those are pretty good seats if you ask me. I have season seats a few rows back from the visiting bullpen and those are 25. That being said, Overall the prices are rediculous. When the team goes bad or people stop going, the prices will drop.
As for the green monster seats, if you are going once, spend the $, buy some front row seats and enjoy. In my opinion it's worth it. Go early for bp , watch baseballs flying at you- fun times. They sell them through the box office some time in Jan / fen. Tough to get that way but demand has decreased for these seats as more and more people have had the opportunity to sit up there

Re: Carl Crawford to Boston
Still hoping he goes in the HOF as a Ray, but if he wins a WS with boston, he will probably go with them then. He only needs to average 152 hits a season for the next 10 years to get there and he'd only be 37-38 years old. He'll probably end up with around top 6 all time in stolen bases. he gave tampa a good 8 years, can't complain for him taking more$$Comment
