The World Series MVP is staying with the Sox! 3 years and $37 mil or so. I'm pleasantly surprised that he turned down the 4-year offers from a couple other clubs.

I don't think anybody's mentioned it yet on here, but ARod won his 3rd AL MVP in the past 5 seasons. That's pretty amazing. He also led the AL this year in HRs (54), RBIs (156), and runs scored (143). Not a traditional "triple crown", but hugely impressive since only 4 other players have done that in the last 75 years (Maris, Mantle, Mize, Williams).

Nah, Beckett only appeared in one game in the World Series. I'm talking about the guy the Sox were "forced" to take as part of the deal that brought Mr. Beckett to Boston.

Quote:
Lowell followed a superlative regular season -- career highs in batting average (.324) and RBIs (120) to go with 21 home runs in 154 games -- with an outstanding October. In Boston's four-game sweep of Colorado, Lowell hit .400 (6-for-15) with four RBIs, three walks and a team-high six runs in winning the World Series.

He homered, doubled and scored twice in the Game 4 clincher at Denver's Coors Field en route to being named the World Series MVP.

Aha! I forgot.
The World Series is often special for a moderately known player.
Neat!

He was pretty damn well known in Boston this past season!

I reckon he should be pretty darn well-known in Boston. I saw him play against Detroit a few times, and I saw him play in a world series game, too.
Very solid, but not very colorful. Kinda like that dull-green, short left field fence you got.

Yeah, Mick already said he's a moderately known player.

This seems like a pretty big deal, but nobody has mentioned it. (Maybe the thread has run its course. )

The Angels signed Tori Hunter for 5 years and $90 million. Hunter's been terrific in Minnesota, and for whatever reason, I just like him. I hope he does well out there. Angels also traded away a guy that Sox fans love: Orlando Cabrera. They sent him to the White Sox for John Garland.
