Matt Stairs was always one of my favorite Sox when he played for them. I never felt he got the credit/respect he deserved. He has always put up decent offensive numbers.

People always say this, and while it was more or less true, he needs to be platooned occasionally, he has a serious issue with hitting for average, and he hasn't been any good in recent history. His BABIP this year is probably insane.

If theo is this good at drafting talent they should forever forget about signing overpriced free agent players like Drew in the future.

Well:

1) Drew isn't overpaid
2) I say the same thing about Beane. He makes outstanding draft picks, but his free agent signings have been...less than stellar, to say the least.

gagne wasn't available anyway. But as much as some of us knocked him, we need him.

I thought he always hit .300ish. Maybe it just seems that way.

How can you say Drew isn't overpaid? And I'm not asking this framed by the sucky season he is having. His previous work warranted $14 million for 5 years? You follow this stuff and I don't, but just a quick look at his stats with only 1 100rbi season etc, I think thats way too high.

Put it this way. What other team was Theo bidding against? I don't believe there were any offering anything close to that.
