wayback the Sox are so fiscally responsible that they are paying Ramirez his full salary for the rest of his contract as he plays for the Dodgers. Being fiscally responsible is more about treating your players with respect especially those that have contributed so much to your organization, and resigning them based on the remaining worth and value to their potential contribution. It serves no purpose in teeing a guy off where he doesn't want to play for you anymore, which gives him control over your fiscal flexibility as has happened with Ramirez. No wonder they had to go for a loser like Jason Bay.
infielddad I see players doggin it down to first base all the time in the majors even on the Sox. But the difference is you don't have a snake-in-the-grass like Schilling creating factions of discontent as the sits on his behind and collects a paycheck that he isn't earning.
