Im not expecting Dice K to reinvent pitching as we know it either.
The only expectation I have for him....is that I want to watch the games he pitches.
When Pedro was pitching, you didn't want to miss the game because you didn't want to miss anything....
For the time being Dice K gives me that feeling.....hes not Pedro..Im not saying that.....but his taking the mound still isnt to be missed.

a sox fan must have hope- and try to see the bright side. of course i see potentional for both good and bad. take ronnie for instance- his raiders suck out loud and he looks for positives- man's a fan. what did oddball say about negetvity? bottom line is i love the sox and always want the best for the team. this team WILL go far.

I thought this bridge jumping after one whole game psyche you Sox fans have was cured after 2004  |

Not bridge jumping on my end....and I never mentioned yesterdays game. Its just one game!
I said it before on Dice-K and I will say it again cause people don't listen.....by my thought process (try and step up here if you can  ) is that they are paying $20,000,000.00 per season for this imported, unproven commodity who has zero MLB experience and not even a day in the minors! Now for that kind of dough, if he ain't winnin' 20 games out of the box.....it was a mistake! If after 3 seasons he is not a .750-.800 pitcher????? What a waste of money!  |

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.

I like the way you think Kev! 
I also agree with your "addition by subtraction" theory on Foulke and Nixon....though I think JD Drew is a nightmare waiting to happen!
Strike King....maybe I am wrong but I thought he signed for five years.....my math is correct based on that and if its six years then so be it....one more year of misery!
Add a Japanese "star" however just to get into a market and make big bucks on merchandise?? Yah, I figured that out but tack on 10 losses for the team and only about 14 wins (if he is lucky)....that is gonna hurt in the long run! Dice-K.....you can have him! |

Pickins were as slim as I have ever seen....however I would never have pulled the trigger on that deal....I would have let the Yankees have him!! 
You won't see me climbing on the Dice-K wagon I can tell you that! Not because I don't like him, but I look at the history of Asian players in the Majors (pitchers in particular) and the history is they implode....maybe a couple good years and done! Best was Nomo and...well.....he imploded! No longevity there....and only 2 position players ever amounted to anything.....Suzuki and the Yankee outfielder whose name escapes me at the moment!  |
