Happy President’s Day everyone. As we celebrate our past commander’s in chief, its also another great time for Monday Poll. Last week’s poll saw what I believe is the first three way tie in poll history as Other, Skiing, and Hockey all tied with 2 votes apiece for people’s favorite sports to watch during the Winter Olympics. This week’s question has to do with some news that just broke in the Boston sports world involving the Red Sox. Do you think them signing JD Martinez is a good move?
