I'm not exactly sure how he arrived at that conclusion, but he has said it. It already appeared unlikely that the Sox could grab one of the Rangers' catchers, but it may be getting less likely. Miguel Montero might be the best option going forward.
-
I don't see the Sox going for Salty now. I mean, it's certainly possible and he is a good option, but he is also very much ready now, and they will most likely try to get a less experienced player so they don't waste two years.
-
It's essentially a two year deal. The team option seems to show me that the team wanted to have him for two and is just minimizing their risk, such as if he hits below .100 or something catastrophic like that. I still hope they pull the trigger on a deal for a young catcher.

From Massarotti
-
mlbtraderumors.com and Jon Heyman say 2 year agreement has been reached
-
If he has to enhance his performance to sign a minor league deal with the Mariners, I don't think he's really going to matter that much.
-
New information out from Massarotti says Varitek is considering retiring or sitting out the season with the current offer on the table. I also saw that trade talks are being reopened for Saltalamacchia and Miguel Montero, that from mlbtraderumors.com. I think the Sox are giving up on Varitek, letting him walk away. I also think they're confident he won't go elsewhere. Seems like one of the top pitching prospects is about to move, but I think both of those guys would be worthy of trading one of Bowden or Buchholz for. Specifically, I think trading Buchholz may be a decent risk to take.

Um, I'm not an expert on how to answer those questions for you, but, uh, calling them by their real name might help. Baseball teams play spring training games or exhibition games, not preseason games.
-
This is out on a limb just a bit, but I think Jon Garland could have a significant impact with the D-Backs. Garland is as good a back end starter as there is in that division unless Barry Zito rises from the dead. Not to mention he will get the AL to NL bump that pitchers seem to experience.

Who Will Be the Sox Opening Day Catcher?
Papelbon58 replied to a700hitter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Having Jorge with one last (dying from old age) season will not keep them from signing Mauer. Jorge may not even be their everyday catcher at that point. I'd be surprised if he makes it thru this year as an everyday catcher. I don't think the Sox are likely to go for a Mauer. I think they would rather have a catcher who established himself within the last two seasons. I'm back, by the way. -
good luck validating somethin in Blacksburg on a Thursday night. Ask Clemson, BC, Miami, Texas A&M, Syracuse when they were good, etc. THe list could go on. I'll be there.

It is Cronin because of the down the middle hair part, thats what I remembered about pics of Joe Cronin. Gotta be him.

in a gay voice Thumper forgets what a caption is, so he writes stage directions.
-
Everybody needs to realize that it does not matter that Soriano is most definitely a better player right now, and just see that it is terrific that Barry is starting because it is in his home stadium, and is a positive environment that puts Bud in a situation where he cannot rain on the parade.

The guy who you think should win it never does, so that rules out Howard and Fielder. Pujols hasn't hit any homers this year, so bye bye to him, Vlad isn't used to hitting good pitches, so I'm going with Mags.

Here is my view. I write for this website on a regular basis about baseball if you want to check up on my articles. http://www.atomicsportsmedia.com/articles/847/1/This-Magic-Moment/This-Magic-Moment.html

I'm watching Jeremy Guthrie vs. Andy Pettitte right now, and I am realizing that baseball will not be taking any skill hit. The names will change but the aura and luster of the games will be the same.

June 12th vs. Colorado
Papelbon58 replied to rician blast's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
I have got to say, I would rather have Pedroia in the 2 spot, just because of the type of hitter he is. Try someone different, sure, but Pedroia is doing fine in the 2 spot, and that is definitely what I thought he was destined for, a major league two spot. I didn't think he would get there this fast, but I also think he should stay in the 2 spot. -
Honestly, I like O'Brien's ESPN bred professionalism much better than Trupiano's ball-busting overreactions and schtick.
-
mueller did it in the same game, not inning. Tatis is correct.
-
We could both be right. I have a question related to grand slams though. So here it goes. I am the only man to hit two grand slams in the same inning.
-
Who is Kevin Kouzmanoff?
-
Kobe has backed off of his statement, maybe the Lakers actually know what happened that night in Colorado.
-
Who are the Boones? That doesnt seem like it should be in Red Sox jeopardy, but that was my immediate thought.
