"I know that we'll have a very strong payroll, a large payroll. I know that we're going to add to it this winter. I'm confident in saying that we'll be amongst the larger payrolls in the game. Exactly where it ends up, exactly what rank we are, I don't know that yet. I think it just depends on what we do.

Big Labor had better call Crawford's agent for some tips. Anyone ever read more incompetent words than these, outside this Board?

His early move was to guarantee 6M for an old career backup catcher who had never made even half the base on that contract offer. His incompetence only makes me resort to humor to supress anger. It would seem fitting that he pays market for Hamilton, the next player to be written off the books with the after trade Cherry comment "he'll be a great player again after he goes elsewhere".

Folks, you can make this up. "A very strong payroll, a large payroll". The largest payrolls in Red Sox history have produced pitiful results for nearly a half a decade. Perhaps a seminar "GM'ing for dummies" would be in order. It's not how much is spent, it's what labor choices it's spent on.

Big Management sucks.

The FO still thinks the fans insist on having a field of stars on it.... even if it means over-paying B-rate players to come here and hit 15 homers or win 12 games a year.

softlaw recommended that Ben pay CC for one more year, so we could get more in return via trade. That's $20M more to a union slug who never wants to show up to work.

Softy wanted us to eat Punto's last year, and be stuck with Beckett's deal as well.

Now, he pretends to adhere to austerity measures.
