Ortiz signs four year deal

I previously talked about the four year deal being offered to Ortiz. It looks like he has signed a four-year contract extension with an option for 2011.

Good for the Red Sox, good for Ortiz, good for the fans. It's a good day in Boston for everyone involved in the Red Sox fortunes, despite Crisp's injury.

Speaking of which, the Red Sox have announced that Crisp will be out for at least two weeks. His left index finger will be in a splint for 10 days. After that, his status will be evaluated.

More than likely, Crisp will be placed on the 15 day DL.

Coco was batting .333 with six runs, so far. Hopefully, he'll come out of the splint and continue his successful beginning with the Sox.
