    The Red Sox paid so they would have exclusive negotiating rights. Combining that with his lack of MLB service time, and there's no reason why he should make 10-12 million per year. Look at Ichiro for an example in the posting system, or any other pre-free agency player's contract. Why should the Red Sox pay market value when they already paid to exclusively negotiate? Exactly. Matsuzaka isn't a FA, so he shouldn't expect to get the same type of deal he would if he were a FA. The Red Sox dished out a boat load of money to get the exclusive rights. They shouldn't have to pay top dollar on top of that. IF Matsuzaka wants top dollar he should just wait 2 years and then become a FA.

    Found this quote in the NY Times interesting: Boras has absolutely no leverage in this deal, and I hope the Red Sox hold out. As long as the Red Sox are offering a decent deal I don't have any problem with them telling Matz to go back to Japan and wait 'til next year. There's no way Matz should be getting $100 million when he was only making $4.5 million last year, and the Red Sox have already forked out $51 million just to talk to the guy. The posting system has a lot of flaws, but Boras is the biggest problem in this scenario.

    Wouldn't have minded him as a backup infielder.

    Why does that need to be reviewed? He got 3 feet in for crying out loud. Stupid refs.
  6. E.J.
    About time. Stupid Rams/refs made this game a lot longer than it should have been.
  7. E.J.
    So the Bears had no chance of scoring on offense if Hester is tackled?
  8. E.J.
    Pretty soon it's going to be touch football.
  9. E.J.
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! HESTER!!!!!! I have a huge mancrush on him. He's unbelievable.

    Rotoworld: Boras trying to pay for Matsuzaka's "freedom". This is getting funnier and funnier every day.

    TD Peterson!!! Bring in Griese for the rest of the game.
  12. E.J.
    Haha. Gotta love these defensive holding calls. They're working out nicely for us tonight. :D

    MOOOSE!! Bad pass by Grossman, but a good catch by Moose.
  14. E.J.
    Geez. Get Jones out of there. Stop dancing and hit a hole for crying out loud.
  15. E.J.
    Hester! Nice open-field tackle. The man does everything.
  16. E.J.
    Hester is pretty good. :lol:
  17. E.J.
    You should be able to score on a play like that. :lol:
  18. E.J.
    Gotta intercept that. :x

    How much? $6 million Geez. How great would it be to be a FA in this market? Doesn't matter how good you are, you're going to get paid well.
  20. E.J.
    Great punt coverage. :D
  21. E.J.
    Didn't need to throw a bullet there. Put some touch on it. Bad pass.
  22. E.J.
    Beautiful pass Rexy. Keep it up.
  23. E.J.
    My grandma gave me a signed photo of Theisman when I was little. I threw it out shortly thereafter.
  24. E.J.
