But Schill went to Boston to defeat the Empire!!!!

Philly Jim said...

BSMB- Yes, the same Evil Empire he was actively courting....along with Manny for A-Rod trade.....and the Sox were trying to get A-Rod....yadda yadda yadda.

I had no idea Youk and Papelbon were such bargains! Clement is worth every penny.

Lugo makes 8 mil? oh man, and he is terrible. i think.

Gaylord said...

You forgot to add the 52 million they paid to negotiate with Dice K to his salary, that's a real bargain though at 60 million...

Every single position player on that team is WAY overpaid other than Ortiz (and maybe Manny, I'm not sure). 11 million for Varitek??? 8 mil for Lugo?? JD Drew the second highest paid player on the team???

-theny

I hate everything Boston and those that support their team.

At least the Yankees fans acknowledge they buy their team and that their team is true mercenaries.

The Boston contingent thinks that Schill, Tek, Youk, etc all just love Boston.

Welcome to Boston, home of romanticizing losers........

Jewklis looks like a WWE jobber that would be in a 3 on 1 vs the Undertaker or something.

DirtDawg said...

You're paying JD Shrew more than Bigg Sloppi?

Nice job, Theo.

Wakefield is now and always has been the bargain on the Sox.

Sure, he's just a #4 starter, but at $4M, the guy can start, close, do middle relief, and can pitch on less rest than most other pitchers. He's given them an avg of around 200 innings a year, too.
