The Red Sox and David Ortiz have agreed on a 4 year extension probably worth in the neighborhood of $50 million. The deal would keep Ortiz in red socks until 2010 with an option for 2011. That's the good news.
Now the bad news. Crisp will have his finger in a splint for at least 10 days. His finger will be reevaluated at that time. No surgery should be required. Crisp claims he could have played on Sunday but I think the team would rather not risk any further injury. We need Crisp for the long haul.
Stern will probably see more playing time, and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Willy Mo Pena wound up in the field a good deal, too.
This is where our depth gets tested.

CRISP COULD BE OUT 6-8 WEEKS
According to CBS 4, Crisp may be out 6-8 weeks with a fractured index finger on his left hand injured in Saturday's victory over Baltimore.
If true, the Red Sox will be without Crisp until early June. That means Stern and possibly Pena will see a lot more playing time. That isn't the end of the world, but it hurts.
The report isn't confirmed by the Red Sox and Crisp will be examined today. Hopefully the report is just a rumor gone awry.
