Crawford Puts On His Red Sox

Carl Crawford and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a seven year contract worth $142 million. The left fielder will be taking his talents to Boston after most rumors had him projected to land either with the New York Yankees or Los Angeles Angels.

His average annual salary will be $20,285,714 which is the seventh highest among active players.That averages out to approximately $139,000 per game, $34,000 per at-bat or $17,000 per inning in the outfield.

The Red Sox finished just short of the 2010 MLB Playoffs in a season where they were decimated by injuries. With a healthy roster and the offseason additions of Adrian Gonzalez and now Carl Crawford, they should be the favorites in the American League East in 2011.
