Can you DH for your catcher? Both Beckett and Wakefield are probably better hitters.

Yes. It means either identifying a free agent or some available via trade. Varitek is not a viable option.

There needs to be a viable replacement and there's no evidence one exists witin the organization right now. They have a kid they like at Double-A, Mark Wagner, but he's not likely ready for '09. So that means identifying either a free agent or someone available via trade -- and whom are you willing to give up for a starting catcher? It's not like there are many on the trade market. And if they do replace him, my bet is he's kept around as the backup -- the Captain Intangibles thing and all. -- Matt --- On Tue, 10/14/08, Steve Gendron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Steve Gendron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: No More Varitek?

I heard yesterday that Varitek is on the last year of his contract. I think it's time to ask the Captain to leave his 'C' in the basket by the door on his way out. Leadership and pitch calling are not worth this.
