Big signing for Boston this sim.. Very happy even though I wasn't thrilled to spend as much as I did but I had the money so why not. Budget only gets lower over next few years so minds well take the risk....

Budget only gets lower over next few years so minds well take the risk.... That was quite an offer you made him. Funny to think that people thought I overpaid Ricardo Sosa at the time and then I look at this deal!

Ballsy move.
Where does he fit into the lineup, DH? Or does he play 3B with Youk at DH?

Come on EJ. Get your act together. They're your main rivals, for goodness sake.

I think the Sosa deal was a little different. This was a no named guy who dominated AA and then hit .174 in his 24 at bats in AAA. The funny thing about Sosa too was a lot of teams bid on him. I know I bid a few million annually and if I remember I didn't have enough in my budget to go higher but I really wanted him.
Wright started off with an asking price that was high and in a weak free agent class, he was due to become overpaid. I could afford to overpay a bit for his services so I did it.. I also know this price I signed him for I had to compete with other clubs willing to pay close to same price, in the end I just used my Red Sox wallet and got this deal done. I am so low in budget next year and following two I can afford this gamble..
This move allows me to move Youkilis back to first where he is much stronger defensively. I was weak defensively at 1B and 3B last season now I am strong at 1B and decent at 3B.
I am hoping in the lineup I have, Wright can just fit in and use his ability to pull the ball and take advantage of the Green Monster like Arzeno was able to..

Anybody can get lucky in the post-season and ride a hot hand to a title, see Mets and Yankees Better recognize! Recognize what? The Red Sox have no interest in getting into a war of words. We will quietly go about setting up our club for the 2013 season and look forward to winning our 3rd straight AL East title. It will be a challenge but that is the goal at hand. ;D
