-- Posted by jonlester31 at 1:13 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 I'm alittle supriesed that Boston signed Wakefield again, he was less than dominate last year.  However, they did not sign David Ross, Jason Varitek and Alex Cora.  Boston, if you give the over the hills Wakefield another season why not your captain? -- Posted by Hi James at 1:14 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 Because Jason needs to go somewhere else like Detroit. -- Posted by Killtyronedead at 1:25 pm on Oct. 31, 2008 If they re-sign Varitek, it'll only be for another season, at most. -- Posted by jonlester31 at 4:06 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 -- Posted by Hi James at 4:09 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. -- Posted by jonlester31 at 4:15 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. Jason's catching ability and leadership role would be more valuable than his hitting even if his averagage was .093 -- Posted by Killtyronedead 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. 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. -- Posted by jonlester31 at 5:21 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 Quote: from Killtyronedead at 2:00 pm 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.
