Red Sox

What the hell it's not our money, and better us than the Yankees getting a shot at him.

This sounded good to me (and he has pitched against MLB players)-

Matsuzaka was then named MVP of the first World Baseball Classic after beating Cuba in the final. He went 3-0 with a 1.38 ERA in the tournament; Japan's other pitchers were a combined 2-3. He followed by going 17-5 with a 2.13 ERA, 200 strikeouts, 14 complete games and a .92 WHIP in '06. He even went 3 for 9 with a double and homer in interleague play.

Go Red Sox!!

granted- he may suck and we'll all scream bad move boy blunder!with that said i've seen some vidieo of him and he has AMAZING stuff!

Doom and gloom. Hey life is a gamble. It is not my money. Worth the chance IMO. If you have a chance at a pitcher with his resume you throw the kitchen sink at him. Decent pitching is paramount to winning in MLB. They are not stupid they will make their money back as mentioned above. The guy has been pitching pro since he was 18. He will be fine, if we can sign him. P.

I like it , only in Boston and New York , Good or bad it will make it all very interesting, Besides it did block other teams from getting the chance and if it does not work out it will cost the Redsox nothing, This may be their over all plan
I also read that if will do land him it will be a global event with our Redsox on TV over seas with the Sox getting a % of the $$$
Long term could bring a huge amount of money to Mr Henry
Plus the cost of water may hit 8.00 at Fenway ....lol

Just goes to show you theo and the boys are clueless.
It has been bad move after bad move.
They would not sign Damon ,but are willing to pay much more for JD Drew, A guy that is hurt all the time and does not have the temperment to play in Boston, just like rentawreck
