It still bothers me that the Dodgers took Crawford and Beckett off Boston's hands.Rich Mahoganyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078545531672950308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-37143675487630900732012-12-19T09:02:00.240-08:002012-12-19T09:02:00.240-08:00Overpaying bad free agents period.

I expect he will continue Boston's tradition of overpaying bad shortstops, going strong since 2005.Rich Mahoganyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078545531672950308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-89723591504736578222012-12-18T13:13:25.125-08:002012-12-18T13:13:25.125-08:00That's two AL East teams going on shopping spr...That's two AL East teams going on shopping sprees: Shane Victorino, Ryan Dempster, Stephen Drew, and Mike Napoli all going to Boston.
