Merry Christmas/Veritek Deal Done
Veritek has agreed in terms to a 4 year 40 million dollar deal with the Sox!  That is, in my opinion, the most important signing they needed to make this off season...I am glad they got it done!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I think he is the most over rated player on the team. slow bat,and just an average defense.  |

He doesn't burn it up at the plate (when he is hitting ) but he is a proven team leader and knows how to handle a pitching staff...and when he gets hot at the plate look out. He is steady with his average...about .280 I think and solid defensively....definitely not a liability! 20-25 homers don't hurt much either...BigCat...name me any better catching prospects in free agency during the off season we could replace him with, also name me any better catchers?  |

Tek signing is huge but I am still worried about the Yankees starting rotation compared to the Sox.  |

seems like everybodys' staff has a health issue. if our staff is all healthy, i'd put them against anyones'. watch out for this guy wade miller- if he comes around he can be a very good picther.

I agree Bigfish, this is the best off season move so far. He's a switch hitter and a team leader, and all his pitchers say he the best at calling a game.
Go Sox!!!

On the Sox official site, it says
He was named captain also,
only 3rd in team history.
