Matsuzaka- What A Joke!

They put out a report on ESPN that the negotiations between the Sox and Boras/Matsuzaka have broken down--what a joke- Matsuzaka will be signed by the Red Sox--they cannot fail to do this after selling it to their fan base and to the Japanese public as well--and whatever they spend will be recovered in the business cycle of the next several seasons- in all likelihood- due to increased income from the Japan market. Matsuzaka is not needed by Boston true--they already by their own admission have the best starting rotation in baseball Schill, Beckett, and Papelbon are Aces--nobody else has three--many like the Yankees don't even have ONE. They have made it their mission to put four Aces on the field with Wakefield and they will need to do that in order to get into the playoffs. For Boston- just having the best talent is never enough..they seem to want a team that can't possibly lose. Most teams have rarely had a hitter as dominant as either Ortiz or Manny--they have both. Varitek is the best catcher in the league and Lowell is the best 3B --and they got rid of that awful Damon and now have Coco Crisp!! You would think that they would put some of that young pitching into a deal for a closer. They have given away the kind of talent(Annibal Sanchez) that they are paying $100m for this year in Matsuzaka-- and that says a lot about why Yankee fans so enjoy watching Red Sox Nation. So enjoy the drama but we all know how this story ends- they sign Matsuzaka.
