J D Drew 5 for 70 mil
John Lackey 5 for 82.5 mil
Carl Crawford 7 for 142 mil
Theo should have lost his job long ago.

I don't agree with all of these

Lackey, is a bust, he has a broken head and can't get in the game. And he's not worth it.
J.D Drew, he is what was expected decent at times with no heart. But when it came to the playoffs he stepped it up.
Carl Crawford, the jury's still out on him,(1st year new team) can he get his head in the game of the Boston media, we'll see.
Daisuke, everyone and their brother was happy they got him he was a project that "ehh", worked in the beginning but fizzled out.

And the Sox have a revolving door at SS so those other two are a wash.
Look at RentAReck and Lugo they both played to there potential when they left here they don't have the heart to play in a place that really cares.
my

for what it's worth.
Sorry to see Tito go but someone had to pay the price

Its a shame....I liked Tito...he lived not far from me when he was with the Phillies...I guess he "lost" the clubhouse...tough to manage when you can't get thru to your players....From his statement:

"We met this morning to look back on the 2011 season and to consider the future of the Boston Red Sox, including my involvement with the club. I passed along my frustrations at my inability to effectively reach the players. After many conversations and much consideration, I ultimately felt that, out of respect to this team, it was time for me to move on," Francona said.

"I've always maintained that it is not only the right, but the obligation, of ownership to have the right person doing this job. I told them that out of my enormous respect for this organization and the people in it, they may need to find a different voice to lead the team."

There will be some more house-cleaning, no doubt....there are a lot pf good pieces there, just need someone to put the puzzle together...
