At least we overpay for young guys and not the geriatrics the Yankees overpay for.

I guess you mean hot young rookies like Wakefield and Big Poopie.

Wake is cheap, and Papi got the job done in '04 and '07.

Last season he had 102 RBIs and an OBP of .370 as well as being an All Star. With a little more protection, he should do even better this season.

Maybe he'll shorten that zero production streak down from 5 to 4 weeks

And you still don't have a catcher worth a damn

And don't forget, he was 0-for-0 in the playoffs, which is batting a thousand!

Crawford will be 37 yrs old at the end of his contract.
While this isn't ancient, his main + attribute is speed.
It should be the skill that deteriorates first.

That doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be playing for the Sox by then.
