      Good move by Boston, and a big raise for Youk. Here's to hoping they start talking long-term deal next!

        He earned his payday, and it's about time it came.
        "As I grew up, I knew that as a building (Fenway Park) was on the level of Mount Olympus, the Pyramid at Giza, the nation's capitol, the czar's Winter Palace, and the Louvre — except, of course, that is better than all those inconsequential places." - Bart Giamatti

        You go through The Sporting News of the last 100 years and you will find two things are always true. You never have enough pitchers, and nobody ever made money.

          That's a pretty small price to pay for an OBP of .380+ Good move.

            Another arbitration case avoided by the team, Theo hasn't gone to it yet in his tenure!

            Both sides want him to stay, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a nice contract at some point in the season or early in the post season...if he hits the open market I doubt he will be coming back.

                Money talks.

                Anyway.... what a waste of money. He got lucky and won a GG, didnt even hit .290 this year or hit 20 HRs. I guess they paid him because people like him. This sucks. I would have rather traded him and brought back Hinske.

                  are you an idiot? honestly that is the stupidest crap i've ever heard. youk works the count like no one else and is capable of a 300. 20hr season and maybe even 200-250 hits. if if you think this is a waste i have no idea what you're thinking?

                    I think he's thinking "I'll go ahead and jerk the chains of every Sox fan on the board and everyone else who lurks here and see if I can get at least one of them to bite and say something stupid."

                              I was thinking that too. 200 hits is probably the max, not the bottom end of the spectrum.
