Sox sign Seanez
Yeah, yeah I know, who cares?
However, Rudy was the 3rd best reliver in the NL last year when judged by FIP (fielding independent pitching) and to be honest, thats the best indicator or a pitchers worth (mostly going forward). The downside is he is 37 and injury prone, however has had back to back years with 46 and 60 IP. 1 year, 1.9m Link Yet another very solid deal by the Red Sox. |

I wish I followed this stuff more closely so I could get excited on my own about it. However, I shall take your word that the Sox have made yet another solid deal.

Bob Howry, Todd Jones, and Braden Looper all got multi-year deals with an average salary of over $4M. Hector Carrasco got two years and $6.1M. Tim Worell got 2 years and $4M. Roberto Hernandez got 1 year $2.75M Jose Mesa got 1 year $2.5M Bob Wickman got 1 year $5M Tanyon Sturtze, with his 5.10 ERA over the last two seasons and only one sub 5.00 in the last four seasons, got 1 year $1.5M (HOLY [censored]!!!!) I don't think there is one pitcher on this list who is a better bet for 2006 than Seanez, and most are clearly much worse. |

Re: Sox sign Seanez
depends on if you define value as how good he pitches the innings, or how many innings pitched [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
