I've been following some and he does look good. It'd be fairly unprecedented to come back and perform well after such an extended absence and poor performance, but he's still fairly young. Looks like he still plays the field like a lunatic though. Wouldn't be surprised to see him injure himself again here pretty quick. We might have missed a good one though.

Sounds just like Hamilton...minus all the drugs and stuff.

What an enormous question mark in CF for the Sox. It could end up being a huge reward, but they're putting a lot of faith into a guy that hasn't seen the field for two seasons.

I get that they're the defending champs, but once again, I don't see how this team can really be any good. I don't think you just replace Salty, Drew, and Ellsbury, and I'm not sure you're gonna get a repeat from Lackey or Victorino. They still have good players, but I don't see them winning this division again. I think we finish ahead of them.

Bogaerts may turn out to be better than Drew. And remember, they are a team that won 97 games while underperforming their Pythagorean record. So they can afford to be several games worse than last year and still be in the race to win the division.

It seems like they also have some lucky pennies...Sizemore nobody wants and now he will likely have a season like the second Coming. Victorino, yes a good player, but comes to Sox and his performance far surpassed expectations. Koji, yes a good relief pitcher, but he signs with Sox and becomes better than Mariano Rivera. If they get this type of unexpected performance again out of Sizemore and Piersynski, I am going to scream. They are due to have a dud signing sometime.

Lucky Penny.

Grady was never supposed to be a full time outfielder and as far as I'm concerned he was a good signing in the pot-shot sense. Jackie Bradley, Daniel Nava and Shane Victorino have all let the Red Sox down big time this season. So, I figure Sizemore can continue hanging around as a journeyman if he wants to.
