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.

Sox reportedly signed David Wells to a 2 year deal worth 8 million + incentives. I have a feeling that a lot of the high ticket free agents are gonna sign in the next week, especially Pavano, Pedro, and Renteria, not to mention the possible trade of Tim Hudson.

finley signed with the angels, and that's actually i think a great deal for them. he's a gold glover, he plays well under his age, and he averages 150+ games a year. wells is a decent signing, but i probably wouldn't have guaranteed him the 2nd year. already a crazy offseason..

Right, wrong SoCal team. Anyways, I think the Angels are going to regret this signing. He's been declining offensively the last three years to the point where last year he had .330 OBP and I don't think those GGs mean a whole lot, UZR has Finley pegged as a -23 defender the past 3 years.
