This is a great siging because theres so little risk, and the potential reward is huge. If he goes down with another injury, o well, the Sox got 10 decent innings out of him and are only out $750k, if he is healthy though, the Sox have an awesome shut down set up man who strikes out over 11 per 9.

yes, definatly a great signing for the sox. it's an all win situation, 750k is most certainly less than i thought he would sign for. i'm sure he has some incentive clauses that will bring the total value up, but in that case it works for both him and the sox.

If I remember correctly there are incentives that could bring the deal up to $2.5 milliong. Don't take my word though I'm not entirely sure if I heard this from a credible source.

There have been some really crazy signings recently. Injury prone Troy Glaus get $45 mil, Steve Finley gets almost $10 mil a year to patrol the spacious center field in Dodger Stadium until hes 41!, and the DBacks give Russ Ortiz something like 4/34. Some of the recent signings are insane, and it makes me wonder what some GMs are thinking this offseason.
Carl Pavano is reportedly being offered 4/40+, who knows what Beltran will get, injury prone and aging guys are already getting upwards of $10m/year, guys like Kris Benson, Jaret Wright, and Eric Milton are getting $7-8 mil a year, while Odalis Perez is reportedly only being offered $15 million for 3 years, and the best FA pitcher on the market currently has a grand total of....2 teams bidding for him. Sometimes its hard to fathom what some baseball execs are thinking.
