So, this is the start of the Red Sox Obsessor Blog!  I will use this as an extension to the show, Red Sox Obsessor.  You can check out the latest video at www.youtube.com/profile?user=revigik5.  So as of tonight the Red Sox have resigned Mike Timlin to a one year 3-mil contract.  I'm very happy with this as he was excellent this year, and this is a low-risk contract.  However, for Mike it's quite a raise.  They've offered arbitration to Eric Gagne, and he has until Fri 12/7 to accept.  If he accepts, then he's a sox again.  If he declines and signs with a top 15 club, then the Red Sox get an extra draft pick in the draft during the summer.  Now this Monday starts Winter meetings (12/3-6).  During these 4 days you'll see more player workouts, acquisitions, trades, arbitration signings, tendered contracts, and drama then you'll see all winter.  I predict the Johan situation to be settled during this time (COME ON TO BOSTON!).  Thursday is the Rule 5 draft, which never really matters for anything.  Hopefully one of my favorites Doug Mirabelli signs soon!  Theo keeps playing mind games with him, but he's such a low risk player that it's a now brainer to sign Doug.
