CrazyCarl40 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Price is exactly what the Sox needed. Should have just resigned Lester. Comparing Price to CC is apples and 300 pound apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Price is exactly what the Sox needed. Should have just resigned Lester. Comparing Price to CC is apples and 300 pound apples. CC had a rubber arm and threw a lot of innings for a long time. Price has thrown a lot of innings in MLB, and will be 30 next season (August). No way he stays good for that contract. 2-3 years, sure, but those last 3 at 93 million or so will be awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know how the market is going to be then. No one thought A Rod would opt out. And then the Yankees paid him anyway. Lets be honest, any talk of money in an uncapped league is fruitless. Everyone has a chance to spend that money. We'll see how it works out. Bottom line is that the Red Sox are now a favorite in the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Price's 1.95 ERA at Fenway Park is his best of any ballpark he's visited at least 10 times, and the lowest among any player since he debuted in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The Sawx and Price know as with CC the out years will be a death march. Which both would be okay with if Price is lights out for 3-5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of their core is on relatively cheap contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Nice signing. He was getting his money. Love the Yankee fans raising an eyebrow over contracts. If the Yanks did not already have some of the worst contracts in baseball they would have been all in on Price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Price has AL East experience, a great track record in Fenway, and is one of the best in the game. Money aside its a great deal. Price, Buchholz, Porcello, Rodriguez, and Miley/Owens/Kelly is a solid five. Bullpen is better with Kimbrel and they're going to hit just fine. I could see them spinning off Miley and putting Kelly in the pen. His arm could be well suited there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Boston the Jekyl an Hyde team in baseball- one year they spend like crazy then they do not spend and them they spend like crazy again The home grown way was not exactly working. Plus, after three last place finishes in four years, they needed to spend. Can't charge high price tickets, rake in money hand over fist through your cable channel and run out Porcello as your ace.

Thing is Boston was on the hook for some bad contracts, and the Dodgers kind of helped them out. Now they have signed the Panda, Ramirez and Price to huge deals. Price is excellent. No argument.
