Arroyo was a good pitcher, but only a 4 or 5. We had other needs at the time and extra pitching ( re: Wells ) at the time. Pedro has been discussed time and time again. Both of the aforementioned went to the NL where their stats will look better. Dlowe ( as you call hime ) , hasn't done squat. Oh BTW, you brought it up , but isn't Tek's abibilty to handle pitchers another intangable ? Yes it is.

Well it is a little tough to back up his value behind the plate with stats. But I guess we can compare how his pitchers do. Pedro does look good so far this year, but he had some pretty damn good years with the Sox and 'Tek. Lowe hasn't done much since leaving Boston, so I don't see your point there. Though Arroyo pitched well at times in Boston, I think his success in Cincy is due to being in a less pressure environment.

Arroyo -It's been one month into the season, he will come back down to earth, he also went from pitching in the AL East to the NL Central.

 

Petey- Is the reincarnation of God, Josh Bard could be his catcher he would still put up big numbers.

 

D-Lowe- Sucks has sucked since he left us, brining him up only hurts your case.

 

Jason Varitek won, the Silver Slugger and Gold Glove last year, he is the best Catcher in baseball, who also prepares harder than any other player in the bigs, pitchers ARE better with him because he does so much work studying batters before games.

 

You know that little notebook thing Schilling does on the bench that everyone praises him for saying he's such a hard worker "always looking to improve"? Yeah Jason Varitek does TWICE as much as he does before and after games, he just does it behind the scenes because he's not a little media whore like Schilling.

 

Sometimes you have to give a player an extra million dollars and one extra year to keep him, you can't ALWAYS get your way with years and money. It's how it is, one year of crappy Tek is worth the three years we have of good Tek.
