Surfing and Pondering

I really like it when someone out there who is both smarter than you and more energetic than you writes a really good article that answers a question you've been pondering. Actually, I hate it because it makes me remember that I'm neither bright nor energetic enough, but I'll take the information where I can get it. David Gassko at The Hardball Times has written a really good article about what Matsuzaka might be worth to the Red Sox, both in terms of on-field performance and in off-field Japanese revenues. I'd click the link if I was you, but the bottom line is, the Red Sox know what they're doing.
