But the Red Sox finally have their man in Gonzalez, a man whose name had been linked with Boston for so long most (mea culpa) thought it a virtual certainty that at some point he'd end up peppering the wall at Fenway Park with his luscious inside-out swing. And the projections of what he can do with it at Fenway Park are astonishing.By the numbers, it sure looks like the Sox have a superstar signed. I just hope he's got the kind of poise and personality that can handle the transition from laid-back San Diego to the flashing bulbs and sports talk poison of the Boston market.
Drooling at the thought of Ortiz, Gonzalez, and Youkilis batting consecutively. I take it this means Beltre will not be back and Youk moves to third. I'm OK with that.
