Red Sox Yoshida hasn't rated too well in a few defensive metrics, but his hitting has more than made up for it.When the Red Sox signed Masataka Yoshida over the offseason, most MLB executives and analysts panned the move.Boston spent a total of $105 million to get the outfielder from Japan (a five-year, $90 million contract plus a $15 million posting fee), a price that many felt was too high, with one team executive reportedly telling ESPN's Kiley McDaniel that he thought "he was worth less than half of what they paid."
