Starting Catcher?

[ARodJeterGreatest]

Who do you guys think should be the Sox starting catcher in the ALDS? I like Varitek for his game-calling, but Martinez obviously has the better bat (especially this year).

 

Or maybe Martinez should play 1st, Youkilis should move to 3rd and Lowell sits. Thoughts?

[Cocos Disciples]

Clearly Martinez.

[suns]

Or you could put youk at SS, lowell at 3rd, vmart at 1st, and tek catches.

[ORS]

"We" don't like that idea.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Or you could put youk at SS' date=' lowell at 3rd, vmart at 1st, and tek catches.[/quote']

 

Haha that's hilarious. One would almost think you were serious, but obviously you aren't, right?

No way

[ARodJeterGreatest]

Clearly Martinez.

 

Well how do we know what the impact of a good game-caller is on pitchers? Anyone know of an attempt to measure it?

 

"We" don't like that idea.

 

What do you mean by "We"?

How about the impact of not being able to get a base runner out and absolutely sucking on offense?

 

'cause those two can be measured.

Inside joke.

:blink:

 

You are an idea man for sure.

 

No.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

Is this serious?

Alex Gonzalez > Tek.

 

Answer is obviously V-Mart, I hope Tek doesn't start in playoffs. His bat sucks and his "game calling" doesn't make up for how bad he is at the plate.

Well, I'm just saying that who knows how valuable game calling is. It could be decently valuable, and then you'd be ignoring a large part of Varitek's value.

 

Inside joke.

 

Care to explain?

What value?

 

Care to explain?

 

suns is an Guardians and Red Sox fan, and while we played the Guardians today, he called them "we" and he called the Red Sox "we" too, therefore the "we" jokes.

[Jasonbay44]

Varitek has no value, unless you consider a suck a value, then Tek has a ton of value.

[The_Destroyah]

Tek's "game calling" ability was great, when he had good defense and atleast some ability at the dish, now that those last two are gone with no chance of returning all that means is that Tek can read a scouting report, its really not that impressive.

Is very valuable>>>Could be decently valuable.

[RWTP24]

Vmart will and should start. I will be really pissed if Tek starts any game in the playoffs.

[jacksonianmarch]

Varitek has crawled into a hole since May. He shouldnt start any of these games

Join him please?

[Dipre]

Join him please?

 

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Dojji]

Join him please?

 

Yo really want him crawling into Varitek's hole?

[Dipre]

What a f***ing buzzkill.

[Dojji]

I'm sorry, I'm in a certain amount of fairly constant pain at the moment from a broken molar and so am borderline insane.

I didn't know we were playing a video game? Why not just sign Barry Bonds (can you do this in video games?)?

It was a joke.

[CanadianSox]

It was a joke.

 

I knew that and I was making a joke ontop of a joke. haha

[RedSox2737]

I love Tek, but it has to be T-nez

[Cocos Disciples]

Can we not call him T-Nez?

[Dipre]

Can we not call him T-Nez?

 

I second this wholeheartedly.

[Dojji]

Please no TNez?

 

We already have a horrid abbreviation ready-made for the guy. There's nothing wrong with VMart.
