I think that's probably a darn good pick-up for the Dodgers.

Btw, Chuck, any comments on Manny since he joined the Dodgers?

Sure. Everybody knows he wanted out of Boston and that he dogged it on purpose to get out. My own theory is that Scott Boras realized that he wasn't going to make a penny off of Manny if the Sox picked up Manny's option. So he convinced Manny that he'd make a ton more money (more than $20 million!) as a free agent; but that wouldn't happen if he performed well for Boston. Now, even when Manny has to sign for less than his Sox option called for, at least Boras will make his 10% of whatever Manny gets.
Rays win again in Anaheim, taking over the best record in the AL. Unbelievable. Sox win to keep pace. Yankees lose putting them 11 games back in the division and only 1 game above 4th place. Damon looked really bad in CF in the highlights I saw.
Bad news: Sox are saying that Beckett has numbness in his fingers. Ugh.
Good news: Yaz has triple bypass surgery today and seems to be doing well.
