No, I think the plan is for him to catch 120 games or so, mix in some first base and DH. Varitek catches 40 or so games, preferably against lefthanders. And it would be nice if he'd remember how to catch a knuckleball.
With the addition of Beltre the Sox may very well have the best defense in all of baseball -- when have we ever been able to say that? Gold glovers at 3B, 1B, 2B, and an above average guy in Scutaro at SS. Ellsbury, Cameron and Drew in the outfield -- the only real weak link (assuming Ellsbury's numbers last year were a travesty, or that he moves to LF with Cameron in CF) is behind the plate, and with the Sox pitching and defense there won't be that many guys on base to steal second. Let's play ball!
