Free Agents Part 1

Reports are that the Red Sox are close to signing Schilling. I heard 10 million for 1 year, which means if he pitches as well as he did this year, he will earn more than 1 million dollars a win. Not too shabby for him.

It doesn't bother me though. The Red Sox can afford it. If you believe otherwise they've fooled you.

The great debate is Mike Lowell vs. A-Rod. I say try to get them both. Imagine A-Rod and his 55+ homers replacing Lugo and his, well, 55+ hits. Again, if you don't believe the Red Sox can afford it, they've fooled you. They're a lot richer than they let the fan base think.

The other argument is everyone here hates A-Rod. True. But, those of us who were around back in the late 90s (when you could show up the day of the game and buy a ticket...when Fenway had less seats...and the tickets were half the price they are now...) remember that the most hated player in Boston was Manny Rameriz. Funny how things change.
