Dude has been a solid arm out of the pen for several seasons now. Hard to comment without knowing the cost, but looks like a good signing for a year with a club option.

Serviceable.

i hope they are moving someone or a package of guys. thornton,floyd, beckham for a 2b or 3bmn

Royals' had the crown last season, but assuming the pen stays the same, I think the Sox have the best pen in the division now.

Lets rate the stengths:

1) bullpen
2) Defense
2) SP
3) Lineup

Not awful, not great. An impact bat would help this team out ALOT with what they have now. Too bad it wont happen.

I live in Denver; Linstrom is a good pick-up. Reliable, likeable, gets the job done.

Well, they probably have the best overall pitching in the division. Best pen, and our rotation matches Detroit.

Obviously more offense would be good, but good pitching/meh offense > meh pitching/good offense

The deal includes a 2013 salary of $2.8MM and a $4MM club option for 2014, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (Twitter links). Lindstrom can also earn $2.25MM in bonuses and escalators based on games finished over the life of the deal.
