How about them Jays, though?  They're shaping up to be a force.  R.A. Dickey's numbers against the AL East are stellar. 

They're now the Vegas favorite to win the World Series Cool
It's crazy how improved their starting rotation SHOULD be.  John Farrell may have left too soon.

I'm a Sox fan, but man these moves just have to make you laugh. Spending a lot of money to be mediocre, if they're lucky.
At least they are only locked into bad short term deals as opposed to horrible long term deals.
That's progress I guess. Go Sox!
Yeah, I don't really mind the players they've brought aboard, or the length of the contracts.  But the AAV, even for the short term, they certainly way overpaid for everyone they signed.  I don't think there will be any bargains in the bunch.  I, by far, like the Dempster deal the least.  I think he's a #3 at best, but probably a back of the rotation guy in the AL.  I don't see how he's any better than Lackey, and he's been a disaster with the Sox so far. 

I do think they will be more competitive next season, but I don't think they'll be anything more than that.  I guess if everyone had a career year and everything went their way, but aside from that they'll battle for a wild card slot at best.  But honestly I don't see how they're not the favorite to finish in the basement in the AL East.  I could see the Orioles taking a step back, but I'm not convinced the Sox are better than them.

Classy move by Derek Jeter.  Apparently he called and spoke to the mother and family of Victoria Soto, one of the teachers from Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT that was killed last week.

HUGE props to Derek Jeter who just called Victoria Soto's family to offer condolences. Big props to him and the Yankees.

Carlee Soto ‏@ICarlee23

Together again,
Gee, it's good to be together again,
I just can't imagine that you've ever been gone
It's not starting over, it's just going on
