That said - if Smoltzie gets a WS start in October for Boston, I will be physically ill watching him take the mound in Fenway in front of all those New England douchebags.

I'm a big fan of Kotsay

<H3 class=breakingNewsHed>Report: Kotsay returning to Sox

Outfielder/first baseman Mark Kotsay has agreed in principle on a one-year deal, $1.5 million deal (plus incentives) to return to the Red Sox, pending a physical and completion of the contract, the Herald's Sean McAdam is reporting. The lefthanded-hitting Kotsay, 33, batted .226 with 12 RBI in 22 regular-season games with the Sox after coming over in a trade with the Braves Aug. 27. He took over as the Sox' starting first baseman in the postseason when third baseman Mike Lowell was sidelined with a hip injury, necessitating the move of Kevin Youkilis from first to third base.

Sox sign reliever Saito - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog

Theo don't play Fight great batters with deep and talented pitching.

The Red Sox have signed free-agent reliever Takashi Saito to a one-year contract with a team option for 2010, the Globe's Adam Kilgore learned earlier today. The Sox officially announced the signing in a press release this afternoon.
The deal includes a guarantee between $1.5 million and $2.5 million, according to FOXsports.com's Ken Rosenthal. Saito will have the chance to earn more than $7 million if he reaches all of his incentives. Rosenthal reports that Saito has already passed his physical.
The 39-year-old Saito spent parts of the last three seasons as the Dodgers closer, saving 39 games for Los Angeles in 2007. The righthander missed significant time last season with a sprained ligament in his elbow, and the Dodgers did not offer him a contract for 2009, making him a free agent. With Jonathan Papelbon cemented in the closer's role for the Sox, Saito figures to be a mid-to-late inning reliever in Boston.

Easily their best signing of the offseason to date.
Time to strike a deal with Papelbon now.

You guys will so be proven wrong. I can't believe you'd even say something so ridiculous.
