There will come a time this off-season I'm sure when I curse Theo Epstein's name and wonder why he wants to make my life miserable with the moves he has made. However, this early in the off-season I have nothing but praise for what he's done. Get rid of Kevin Cash? Yes! I have been hoping for that since Tek came off the DL. Get rid of Dusty Brown? I feel bad for the guy but I'm OK with that move. Get rid of Rich Hill to Pawtucket? Sure, why not? Sign Salty to a 1 year deal to avoid arbitration? Yes, please! I also appreciate that all the reports that I heard about the Salty signing mentioned that the contract has different amounts based on whether he is in the minors or the majors last year. Perhaps that is standard on this kind of contract but I like the thought the option is still there to start him in Pawtucket and have Tek and Victor back as our catchers next year. So I will hold onto my good feelings for Theo for now until he inevitably drops a bomb on me and makes me rue the day I ever started watching the Red Sox.
