08:16 AM ET 04.27 | Carl Crawford, we learned Thursday, has a balky elbow that will shelve him until June or July. [Really], is there anybody left following the Red Sox [team stats] or Major League Baseball who is legitimately surprised by one more piece of bad news about Crawford? We are talking about the active leader for "Worst Free Agent Signing in MLB History" after his worthless -- 0.0 WAR -- debut last season will be matched in the first half of this season. At an average of $20.3 million per year payable through 2017, Crawford's seven-year deal is entering historic territory. At $30 million for a season-and-a-half of nothing, Crawford is going to make the seven-year, $126 million Vernon Wells deal look pretty thrifty.

If and when he does get back, he will still bat left handed. It wasn't their need last year and it still isn't.

Or more specifically, Balki Bartokomous.

Thankfully The Sox can afford the contract. Might not get any use from it, but won't go broke because of it.
