Red Sox sign Beltre

[Rich the Giants fan]

Ah to be able to afford a payroll like that.

What's next for Mike Lowell?

Well, at least it's for only one year, though it could be a tumultuous one. Let's hope he keeps his mouth shut focuses on playing.

as Milton Bradley?

Seriously, it's good move for the RedSox.

Wow.... I am a big Dodger fan and his one great season was a joy to behold that's for sure. And his defense is good, but make no mistake:

This is a .265 hitter who won't have an OBP over .333

Just as long as the Sox know what they are getting...

I remember that year. I think he came in 2nd or 3rd in MVP voting. A big reason we won the West.

This does not seem to be much of a free agent class. I would not want Beltre if he were to play for free. I am exaggerating, but he really is not much of a player. Fenway might help him, I guess. He might be the type of player who gains more from the park switch than normal players do, but still.

The Red Sox certainly seem underwhelming for next year.

What do you mean? Beltre's a good guy. No problems at all in Seattle.

I have no idea what he's speaking of either.

There hasn't been a controversy in Seattle since Silva would run his mouth in 2008.
