It ain't all about homeruns???? (19 is his best season?) It ain't all about RBI???? (His best season for these 90?) It ain't all about batting average???? (.307 his best season??) What is it all about then????? 20 million dollar a season players should only get that kind of money when they are producing!!!! You people are insane if you think this was a great pickup????

He is a career .300 hitter???? So was Mike Greenwell and there was no friggin' way he was gonna make this kind of money???
JD Drew was a huge mistake in my eyes when they signed him for that money!!! I said it then???? They were signing him for what they thought "HE MIGHT DO"......how did that work out?? And this is what they have signed Crawford for...."WHAT THEY THINK HE MIGHT DO"!!!

I have to think that outside the northeast corridor, baseball fans see no difference between how the Sox and Yankees put their teams together, ie. just go out and buy it. It seems that the only way to compete is by having the big checkbook. I miss the old days of developing a team from within.....

Probably gonna see less and less 40+ HR guys as the years go on. This is the Post steroid era. There will be more and more well rounded players than in the past.
The last time the Redsox threw Crawford out stealing was 2004.

Now that is one the most ridiculous statements I have ever heard Chris??? How old are you??? You do realize players used to hit 40 to 50 homers a year routinely and they were never on the juice!!! Mays, Aaron, Williams, Mantle, Maris, Jackson, Schmidt......ever hear of these guys? I need someone.....anyone to shine the light on this signing and try and express to me why Crawford is worth 20 million dollars a season and for the next 7 years no less????? Any takers??

Also must comment on the "more well rounded players than in the past" comment!! There has not been a well rounded player in MLBB since Carl Yastrzemski won the last Triple Crown award in 1967!! Players used to be well rounded......and back in the day pre-1970.......there were so many well rounded players you could not swing a dead cat on the pitchers mound without striking 5 or 6 of them in a swing!!!! Players today can't carry the jock of players pre-1970! They were real baseball players....they not only had more talent in their little pinky finger than players have today but they played with heart, dedication, emotion and brains!!!! |

Hey big guy. Had a real busy season. The fluke were flyin', the blackfish were bangin', the bassin' at the Island was great. Then I had this little health hic-cup about 6 or 7 weeks ago. Doin' pretty good now. A little paralysis on the left side but I can still crank the crank.
