Jason's catching ability and leadership role would be more valuable than his hitting even if his averagage was .093 As a catcher, Varitek is only average. It's his ability to control a game without a coach's help is what makes him so alluring. THats what I'm talking about, that rare skill and his leadership ability outweighs his offensive flaws Killtyronedead Posted at 11:00 am on Nov. 2, 2008 Quote: from jonlester31 at 7:15 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 7:09 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Quote: from jonlester31 at 7:06 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 4:14 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Because Jason needs to go somewhere else like Detroit. no one cares about Detroit    That was the whole irony.
