Not for nothing but they already made back that 51 Million posting fee before he even threw a pitch....Merchendise and Endorsments have already paid for that.
They are making a ton of cash off of him over in Japan....he's already doing Nike Commercials over there.
as far as improvements Dice-K is going to be an effective #3 for us. J.D. drew IS an improvement over Trot...albeit a bit of an over-priced improvement. but he is a better defensive outfielder than Trot and has a little more pop in his bat. and as far as the injury bug goes its not like Trot didn't get bit by that on a regular basis either.
We also got rid of Foulke...there's another improvement. He was absolutely painful to watch.
The person who needs to pull his head out of his arse is Varitek....a guy his size needs to be jacking out 25 HR's a season and he better hit better than a .240 clip....that killed a lot of rallies last season and so far with spring training it looks like he picked up right where he left off.
1/2 of building a team is Chemistry, not just Talent. Look at the Yankees the past 4-5 years...they have been stacked but they never developed any chemistry.....just a lot of attitude.
