to Mike Lowell according to the boston Gloebe. heaven forbid. They offered Mariano $45 million for three years, and they tied Posada up until he's forty for some ungodly sum. Those two have been among the best players in the game in recent years, but surely they are on the downhill slide. Not what I'd call judicious and certainly not what the Red Sox would do. Think of the young talent that kind of money would have tied up.
And Beckett didn't get the Cy Young, which in light of the playoffs is a miscarriage of justice. Not that Sabathia wasn't deserving, but if they voted now it would not turn out the same.

They are also close to a deal with ARod. Hmmmm. Perhaps no one else would pay him what he wants?
If Mike Lowell ends up with the Yankees I will probably short circuit.
Next year we should have some fantastic all season long blog baseball contest. Something a la fantasy baseball.
Lets see. Alan Embree. Mike Myers. Doug Mientkiewicz. Johnny Damon. Roger Clemens! Am I forgetting anyone? And now Lowell. It's like the Yankees say, "Hey! I want that." Can't they find their own players?
But now that ARod has come crawling back to them, they should have no need for Lowell.
And how happy I'll be if Arod and the Yankees DO get back together. it'll help maintain my Yankee, um, distaste. Is there anyone scummier than Arod?
Don't forget Wade Boggs. Yeah it was a while ago, but so was Clemens.
Apparently the Yanks want Lowell to play first base. C'mon now. Wasn't ARod originally a SS?
If you need a first baseman, go find a first baseman. Stop collecting players and form a team.
