I have to agree with SI here, I like all of the offseason moves the Red Sox have made especially the Dice-K signing. While Drew and Lugo were most certainly overpaid, IF Drew can remain healthy he will certainly prove to be a productive bat in the 5 hole and if Lugo doesn't mimic how he finished the season with the Dodgers, I can say he has the ability to do the same.Boston Red Sox
Widely ridiculed for their stunning, $51.1 million posting price for Daisuke Matsuzaka, Boston's big international gambit turned out to be the best move anyone made this winter. They wound up securing Matsuzaka for $103 million, or $23 million less than the Giants paid for Barry Zito, nor even counting the $5 million to $7 million or so they will earn through marketing/branding opportunities. Julio Lugo is a better offensive player than Alex Gonzalez, and J.D. Drew is an upgrade over Trot Nixon, assuming they get that contract done someday.
