I'm alittle questionable Wells this season, I don't know, I am pretty sure he took #3 to honor Ruth. (I'm assuming he got 3, since I saw a kid wearing a Renteria jersey the other day and it was #16) And I've been here grumblings that he's upset that the Yankees didn't persue him in the off season.

I like the Wells signing because it didn't cost much, it has a huge upside but he has to pitch well to get it and I like contracts like that. He can handle big games, has multiple reasons not to like the Yanks and he's a Lefty and an average lefty in fenway park becomes a good lefty, a good lefty becomes great.
I could be wrong, I thought McCarty retired after the season?
If Millar can't get it done defensivly at first, I think Youkills was working over there and I'm sure they'll get someone who can play great D for late innings.
That being said, I don't think the East is going to be a cake walk for either team (sox or yanks) I think both will make the playoffs, but there are a few good teams that will give them both trouble.
