A Really Really Good Idea....I Hope

The signing of Daisuke Matsuzaka to a six year 51 million dollar deal although with the posting fee a total of 103 million. Matsuzaka is the a national icon in Japan. He is only 26 and in his prime and the question is how he'll adjust to the American League East. Its a rarity that you can get a young picture in his prime on the open market without depleting your farm system. People think that he can become one of the top pitchers in the league. If so, in an age where a highly overrated Barry Zito is getting 126 million dollars this could be the ultimate bargain. If not he follows the footsteps of Hideki Irabu and Hideo Nomo into mediocrity. For the sake of the Redsox overtaking the evil empire known as the New York Yankees, lets hope this ends up being one of the greatest bargains of our time. Watch out, the gyroball is coming to a stadium near you!
