Curt's Deal

$8 million in guaranteed base salary

$2 million in bonuses for 6 seperate weigh ins.

$3 million in IP incentives based on IP totals.

$1 million for receiving a Cy Young vote, any vote.

That's not a joke. OMG, the weigh in bonus makes me laugh so hard. But seriously, this is a beautiful thing. I'm having trouble coming to terms with it, to be quite honest. I'm a Sox fan from the 80s and 90s, when every off season my heroes were let go. I've come to expect the worst. In fact, it never occurred to me that the Sox would even try to sign Schill. It's a whole new Red Sox organization -- one that can win World Series Championships, and one that keeps the men who help win ballgames around. THANKS, THEO.. ..
