Varitek has had a horrible month. His swing just looks awful, he has no timing or power. I don't know why all of a sudden he became the worst hitter in baseball, but it happened. This guys started off the year on fire, I think he was hitting .295 in late May. Does anybody else think this could have something to do with the 2 serious ilnesses he had this year, or is his sucky-ness starting to show? I think if we gave him a week off to clear his mind and get to a good place physically he could still be an assest down the stretch. We need Tek to hit better than .220.
