How exactly, are the Boston Red Sox paying $125M for the team they're fielding right now? Who is making this money? And who's worth what they're making?
Manny is pretty obviously worth his 19M. Schilling is as well, worth the $12.75 he's on the books for. But beyond that... who else was worth this money?
Just for starters:
Matt Clement - $9.75M... an NL 4 starter... at almost $10M a year.
Jason Varitek - $9M and batting what, .240 before his injury?
Mike Lowell - $8M... and fading faster than Boston's wildcard hopes.
Trot Nixon - $7.5M for a guy who's never hit a lefty in his career.
Keith Foulke - $7.25M... and yes, he was worth it at the time, but such a drastic falloff for this guy.
Josh Beckett - Gets a 4 year extension at $10M a season... for what? His ERA is pushing 5. he wins because of the run support, not because he's any good.
And how's that contract extension for Coco Crisp working out? Three more years of him?
Who signed these contracts? Fire him!
