Sean Casey and the Boston Red Sox have signed a one year contract for the 2008 season.  The deal is believed to be worth $700,000.  Casey will pretty much sit on the bench and do a little pitch hitting here and there.  I don’t think he will really have much value for this team unless the Red Sox have a couple of injuries happen at the first base position.

Casey will be there to come off the bench, and as long as he knows that he will pretty much just be a pitch hitter I’m ok with this deal.  He is a veteran so I’m sure he is ok with this role, he just wants to get the post season and contend for a World Series.
