Tell ya what, I'm gonna call him Jar Jar Beeks from now until he starts attacking the strike zone like a professional.

Showcase!

 

I say the Sox sit him until July 31. Sorry Sandy but you are going to have to man up. The 2-4 "showcase" was as good as it's going to get last night. No need to play him some more so he can go 0-18.

That would be very foolish. He needs to function as a competent backup to boost his value and his durability. I wouldn't be surprised if he was catching at least 2 out of 5 games from now to the deadline.

 

I also wouldn't be surprised if Vaz isn't exactly rushed back. We have the luxury of taking our time here. Let him have some time to recover not just from the broken finger but from the ordinary aches and pains of catching regularly. A Vazquez with healthy knees in October could be a huge asset.

Crazy pills. Can't play a catcher that much.
