which makes Yanks signing Chris Carter for 3.5 million look like a bargain in comparison.
Apparently, the Sox aren't totally satisfied with Pablo Sandoval as their "big bat" in the middle of their lineup. Frazier's salary is $12.5 million.
Chris Carter: bats right / throws right / 30 yrs old / .222 BA / 41 HRs / 94 RBIs
Todd Frazier: bats right / throws right / 31 yrs old / .225 BA / 40 HRs / 98 RBIs
Frazier is worth more in that he's a decent fielder at 1st or 3rd and doesn't strike out as often as Carter. However, he is not 9 million dollars a year better than Carter....IMHO

A lot is made over the Red Sox being the "team to beat" this coming season...and maybe they will be. However, I for one believe they are going to really miss Big Papi coming up big for them when needed. He carried that team on his back for the last few years and tended to be clutch when it mattered most.
And they only have 3 left worth anything: forget names but a 3rd baseman, OF, and pitcher.
Dumb rowski better be good at drafting to replenish or its back to last plac for a few years.

give up a few more of your top prospects.
They are "prospects" for a reason. The vast percentages are that even "top" prospects won't pan out. Everyone remembers the few who become stars. No one remembers those that are derailed by injuries, inability to adjust their games once the opposition has scouting reports, personal demons, endure position changes or never rise above AAAA level.
Prospects are nice but parades are even better! :-)

We have one of the best young cores in the big leagues. I think we will be ok.

I must have missed the Sawx parade last season, my mistake!

yeah such a slouch for giving up prospects for a cost controlled top 5 in the league SP. Guy is a moron
Frazier at 3rd.
Makes Boston untouchable for 4 or 5 years.
BlueJays are fading, Baltimore will hit but no pitching to speak of, Tampa looks decent but never contends, Yankees, ha, non factor for another 10-15 years.
Red Sox or Cleveland are the teams to beat in the AL.
Cubs and Mets in the NL.
Should be a great season.

Yanks will be a title contender as soon as next season (2018) with their young lineup and prospects
Gleyber Torres (SS)
Gary Sanchez (C)
Manny Machado (3B)
Greg Bird (1B)

I think Didi is more likely to still be in pinstripes than Castro. Didi has proved himself on the big stage and is a very slick fielder and he's done well with the bat. Castro isn't as slick with the glove and tends to chase balls a foot out of the strike zone killing rallies.
