I like where he siad the Sox spent like a small market team. Last i checked, they spent nearly $70 million on payroll. If it werent for teams like New York and Boston, the sox wouldnt look so bad. Excluding the top 3 spending teams, and the bottom 3 spenidng teams, the league average is $65,975,506 (according to the numbers on ESPN.com). Last I checked, we are spending ABOVE the league average. I dont have a problem with that. You can win spening $70 million, unfortunetly, we had several KEY injuries that we couldnt over come.
