TOD! We have talented, or supposedly talent players already. If they produce, we should be fine. Quentin, Rios, Bacon, Ramierez, the whole starting rotation, etc. Optimism Andrew, give it a shot!

They could be plugging Dayan Viciedo in there just to fill the position. We don't need a huge upgrade to compete for the division, especially with our starting pitching. While we didn't make any splashes so far this offseason, Rios (hopefully) and Peavy were big moves that already occurred to help us this year. DET is dismantling, KC is KC, CLE is CLE, MIN... eh... will probably still win the division, but hey, it will be kind of fun to watch again. Or if we are lucky, we'll get to experience another first round annihilation at the hands of a real team! Woo! It could be worse.

His drop in ability coincided a little too close to Selig's crackdown on Flinstones Chewables. But as a bench bat, the Sox could do worse. You never know about Jones.

"three years? we're not even going to *TRY* for a big name at a key position for at least three years?!?!?!" peavy aside, next year is already looking pretty crappy. man, that’s exactly what I thought when they extended teahen. “three years? we’re not even going to *TRY* for a big name at a key position for at least three years?!?!?!” peavy aside, next year is already looking pretty crappy.

If anything, he's probably on the downside of his career. I’m glad you feel like I do….you can do all the sabermetrics you want to, but Teahen is what he is.
