Johnny B makes a good point, well almost made a good point. I think what he was getting at, is that…

The sox have used their 100k to build the farm system, as well as add good quality free agents to the big league club. Thus building the club from the bottom up, while adding a few pieces along the way to make them even better. Seems smart to me.

And for Jeff, I have a bad feeling Ty Law is gonna go all BK on Bledsoe,Imean Cassel’s ass tomorrow!

First of all, people ARE saying that the Sox have become the Yankees. I hear that pretty often. But just because the Sox spend LIKE the Yankees doesn’t mean they ARE the Yankees by any means.
As an analogy, if you were to give my brother and I 100 grand apiece, I’d buy a bunch of investment-grade stocks and he’d buy booze and parties; we’ve spent the same amount of money but we’re hardly the same.

The Sox may have a bloated payroll like the Yankees, but – with a few exceptions – I think they spend it more wisely and get a WAY better return on the investment.
