Daisuke Matsuzaka

Red Sox sign Daisuke Matsuzaka! Yay!

Best rotation in baseball now? Schilling, Beckett, Matsuzaka, Papelbon and Wakefield? With Tavarez fresh off a good closing to 2006 in the wings should one go down? The boys look to be pretty good as long as Varitek can stay healthy. Surely, J.D. Drew is better than Nixon (although, I always liked Trot) and certainly no more injury prone. Lugo, although not a great shortstop, should be a nice addition at the top of the lineup which will allow Crisp to drop in the lineup and become more of a running now that he's out of the shadows of Ramirez and Ortiz. Let the Pedroia take pitches to allow him to run instead of the big bats. Get Clemens as a closer and I'll take my chances for 2007. Else, we'll be relying on one of the young guns.
