save the money go after zito instead, especially when schilling might be retiring soon.

How many more titles will the Yankees try to buy it never ends. -
Crazy
The rumor is that he will be signed for 4 years at 12 to 15 mil a year.
The secret of the deal is Boras is his agent and he is trying to get Boston to sign J.D. Drew also.
Boston will sign Drew for a good deal more than any other team has offered as long as Boras does not try to rape them for Matsuzaka.
Matsuzaka is a good pitcher with 5 pitches he throws for strikes but is not as overpowering as you would want to spend this much money on.
We can only wait and see how he does.
but for a combined 60 + mil for him. I would rather have Soriano,Schmidt and Zito.Comment

Frank, i said all this in another thread .......
He will sign for about 12 million per year.
Boston controls these contract talks, not Boras. The whole point behind it is getting it done because the Japanese team WANTS the money, therefore the 1st contract WILL get done quickly. The next contract, Boras will bleed a team dry but in this one, he gets NOTHING if the deal doesn't get done and he goes back to Japan.
The Red Sox will make that $51 million back twice over in Japan where they are already planning to Market him everywhere with the Boston Logo. Don't assume this money is lost after they pay it out. They WILL get it back ... and quickly!
If the guy doesn't do a thing in Boston, the Red Sox will have made a HUGE profit on him in the end and it won't have cost them anything. They are even planning on offering Sushi for the 1st time next year at Fenway park. They are going to maximize this guy and probably make many millions on him when all is said and done!Comment
