Victorino and #RedSox: Three years, $39M.

[NAHSTE]

Coming from a fan of ANY other team, I might be laughing with you. Instead, I'm still laughing at the Dodgers and Red Sox.

I just don't get how Victorino is worth over $13M a year. I know guys are getting tons of money right now but what the fuck?

Why? Which crazy signings have the Dodgers made this week?

Carl Crawford

Adrian Gonzalez.

Hard to laugh at a 31 year old Victorino getting 13 per when a 30 year old Andre Ethier is owed more annually until 2018.



^That is a fucking horrendous deal

[Goober]

I remember after the Gonzalez/Crawford trade, people said something along the lines of, "If I had X million dollars to spend I probably wouldn't have used it on those players." Well if I had 90 million, there's no way in hell I would ever use it on Gomes, Napoli, and Victorino. Throw in the Red Sox rumored interest in Kyle Lohse and this could become the worst spending spree ever.

With every transaction I remind VSN that Ben Cherington is a terrible GM. Are you ready to agree with me yet Boston fans?

I'd rather have Ethier than BJ Upton or Shane Victorino.

Ethier has never even had a 4 WAR season, can't play CF (can barely field a corner, LOL) and provides no baserunning value. Would take a 28 year old Upton over him every day of the week.

This Victorino deal is indeed laughable for Boston though.

I'm glad that we're both happy with our teams.

I'm also glad you can finally agree with the thread topic.

I'm also glad you can finally agree with the thread topic.

I always agreed with the topic, just thought the thread starter was ironic, given the Dodgers penchant for handing out even worse contracts than this one.

[Yawkey Way]

Guys, Shane Victorino is GRITTY, he's a TEAM PLAYER, and he's a CLUBHOUSE GUY.

Oh, what's that, he's a switch hitter who hit .229 against righties last year, is 32 years old, and just got a 3 year deal?

BUT HE'S SCRAPPY.

@Ken_Rosenthal
Sources: #Indians’ offer to Victorino was 4 yrs, $44 million. Evidence of their flexibility. Victorino got $2M per yr more from #RedSox.

No idea what the Sox are doing here. I was cool with them actually rebuilding with youth. Instead they sign Napoli and this bum? I mean they are three year deals so it doesn't handcuff them too bad but what the fuck.
