Not sure this signing is a big improvement over anything the Sox have but will wait until I see him play RF before concluding the signing was a bad one since he is here for the next 3 years like Napoli.
Sox sign Shane Victorinio to Three year deal.

In response to Leftymcrighty's comment:
Unless Ellsbury is going in a trade, this signing stinks.
Victorino's skills have eroded in the last couple of years. He doesn't have the bat to be a corner OF.
Napoli, Victorino ansd Gomes? Does Ben know how to make a TRADE for someone under 32?
Who do you suggest? Fine to criticize but alternatives would be nice. -

OK here with Victorino. Just want to see Ben get a starting pitcher worth his salt before going into spring training.

WOW what a HORRIBLE move. I would'nt even give him 1 year at 8 mill. What does this front office see in him. I see declining skills for a player that 2 teams did n't want. I just do not get it???
what makes you see declining skills?
My EYES! -

It'll be good to see someone in the outfield with an arm!

Everybody cut it out with the overpay stuff. Wake up and smell the inflation. B J Upton got 75 million. He had a .298 OBP last year.
BINGO! The market has been set for OF'ers. top teir gets 15M+, that means guys like Victorino wouldve got 10-12 but since he was offered 4/44 by the Indians the Sox had to give more to give less years.I thought this wouldve been obvious to everyone.
