That contract is absurd. Nice player though. Man, $20 million per for a guy who's never hit 20 homers, and has an OBP of .350? Hey, no salary cap so the money is irrelevent. The Sox should have a sick team. A little too lefty in the line up, but nasty all over. They have to be the favorite at this point.
I agree that I really didn't want Crawford here because of his price but I actually like this move for Boston. I wouldn't rely on Ellsbury for anything. I honestly think Crawford is made for our short porch or the pesky pole, he would have fit in well on either team. Defensively he is as good as they come.I'm a Yankees fan and I was hoping the Yankees wouldn't sign Crawford to some ridiculous deal, since they have already have a Crawford junior in Brett Gardner. I felt the same way about the Sox and Ellsbury. Were I a Sox fan, I'd have much preferred that this money be invested in some right handed power, as well as some bullpen help. Ellsbury and Crawford are virtually identical players. Their stats are very similar if you look at them. This past season must have soured the front office on Ellsbury. Regardless, Crawford is a terrific player. He absolutely makes the Sox better. I just think the contract isn't a good one. Again, it's only money. Something which the Sox have to spend.
Defensively the Sox should be outstanding in the OF. Think of the ground that a foursome of Ellsbury, Crawford, Cameron, and Drew will cover. Their infield should be terrific as well. That will certainly help the pitching staff bounce back this year.

Yankees Suck, Yankees Suck,...... Theeeeeeee Yankees SUCK!!!I'm a Yankees fan
Can Yankee fans stop comparing Brett Gardner to Carl Crawford. Brett is a good player and Carl is a much, much better player.
We definitely will have a sick lineup, the too lefty argument isn't as big deal as people make it seem. I was reading an article on it the other day, and apparently Gonzalez, Crawford, and Ellsbury all hit equally well against lefties and righties. So it's not like we signed two more lefties who can't hit righties.

Boooooooooooooooooooo
hey, its Real World, get him BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I know pal. I get it from friends and family all the time. I just started wearing a Yankees hat to my street hockey games, and my teammates, who never knew I was a Yankees fan, no longer pass me the ball.
I think Cliff Lee wants to stay a ranger and is using the Yankees to get his $$$.
what do you think RW?
