Two points of clarification...I agree with most of your sentiment, however, signing free agents does not attract prospects...you just draft them, and you actually forfeit a draft pick if you a sign a FA that was tendered a contract by their former team. As far as the fan attendance at the park...that is part of the problem. That ownership knows Fenway is a tourist destination and are content with out of town fans filling the park. Attendance is down some, but not much...its more TV ratings that are down.
