Well, it's official.
Back surgery for Crede.
Yeah, right, you don't get it taken care of in the off-season. For all the talk of how the Sox don't like dealing with Boras, sometimes I get the feeling that Boras is intentionally messing with the Sox - this now marks he second Boras client (Remember, Ordoņez became a Boras client in 2004) that has had his trade value as well as probably making him no longer a Type A free agent. Heck, Thomas and Ordoņez's injuries (and subsequent non-tenders) alone have wound up costing the Sox 4 sandwich picks over the past couple years.
Which all helps to make the Sox farm system look really, really poor.
The Sox have been shut out more than anybody else in the majors.
Blah.
