Two things:

1. The comparison to the Red Sox is flawed if Liverpool fans think it's a plan that will be followed in the EPL. First of all, nothing indicates that Henry is in it for the same reasons. He grew up a Red Sox fan and had that emotional connection that can make the bottom line easier to ignore. He could do great things for Liverpool, or it could be Miami again. That remains to be seen, but either one is rather equally plausible at this point.

2. This is the EPL thread. We don't care about "sabremetrics" or which chubby firstbaseman is better.
