The Boston Red Sox signed Sean Casey to a one year, $800k deal yesterday as the former Tigers first baseman will now play for the defending champions.  It’s been a while since Casey has served as a backup but after a mediocre season in 2007 for the Tigers, it’s not a huge surprise that the market for him as a starter didn’t exist.  Still, I always liked Casey and he seemed like a top notch guy.  The Red Sox may be getting a guy near the end of his career but Casey could definitely prove to be a positive influence in the club house.
