It cost the Boston Red Sox 103 million dollar to sign Daisuke Matsuzaka for 6 years.
I wonder if he will turn out to be a stud or a dud. There have been both for players coming from Japan. The Yankee's Hideki Matsui is definitely a stud, worthing every penny of his contract. But another Hideki (Irabu formerly of the Yankees) and another Matsui (Kaz formerly of the Mets) both did not live up to expectation. I wonder why the Red Sox decided to make a 103 million dollar gamble. After all, there are other quality pitcher available. The Yankees singed Andy Pettitte for less, and Barry Zito is still available and probably can be had for less.
