I'm not saying the other guys got what they deserved but with the way signings are going Drew at 14 million isn't bad. A 3-4-5 of Ortiz-Manny-Drew would be awesome.

Disregarding any possible steroid suspicions, it's kind of funny how the new $18 mil/year (Bonds 2001 - 2004) is probably about $25+ mil/year if said players are being paid this much for said statistical performances.

I'm a big Boston fan, so I'm hoping just as much as anybody that they're making the right choice signing Drew, knowing his average games/year and his reputation for not being able to stay healthy all season. I hope he stays healthy as long as possible.
