Red Sox Monopoly Values
One of my presents was the Red Sox Monopoly game. I found the player values amusing:
Purple
- Terry Francona: $60
- Dave Roberts: $60
Light Blue
- Bronson Arroyo: $100
- Pokey Reese: $100
- Doug Mientkiewicz: $120
Magenta
- Doug Mirabelli: $140
- Gabe Kapler: $140
- Mark Bellhorn: $160
Orange
- Bill Mueller: $180
- Trot Nixon: $180
- Jason Varitek: $200
Red
- David Ortiz: $220
- Orlando Cabrera: $220
- Johnny Damon: $240
Yellow
- Alan Embree: $260
- Mike Timlin: $260
- Keith Foulke: $280
Green
- Derek Lowe: $300
- Tim Wakefield: $300
- Pedro Martinez: $320
Blue
- Curt Schilling: $350
- Manny Ramirez: $400
I think I heard Martinez whinging about how he isn’t a blue property like Schilling, and that this is one of the reasons why he didn’t re-sign with the Red Sox. Not being assigned blue is obviously a sign of little respect. Sabermetric analysis correlating Monopoly values and win shares to follow shortly....
