If you want to bunt with Varitek, that's cool, but I'm not letting an MVP candidate bunt with a guy on 2nd and no outs. There's a good chance that he hits the ball to the right side anyway.
If Josh Beckett has 30 starts in October, do you think he would still have a sub 2.00 ERA? He's a great pitcher, but he struggled this year. That's why I'm not surprised he's not blowing everyone away.
