Matsuzaka Signs!

It's been a dead period for baseball news. That coupled with my dad being sick has resulted in zero posts in about a week.

But, with that, it should be noted that Daisuke Matsuzaka signed a 6-year, $52 million contract with the Red Sox today, less than 24 hours before the negotiation window closed and he would have to go back and pitch in Japan for another year.

So, with that, the Red Sox have now spent over $100 million on a guy who's never thrown a ball in North American baseball.

If I ever have a son, I'm teaching him to throw from the time he can pee.
