I'm willing to be wowed with some spectacular move down the road, but I can't shake the idea that Theo has bungled his free agency decisions in the past 12 months. By not paying reasonable deals for Jason Bay and VMart, he may now have to overpay for Werth, whose numbers are at best comparable to Bay for a player of the same age, or Crawford, who I don't think offers the Sox much they don't already have.
And I dread a year of Saltalamacchia. Atlanta (which does a pretty fair job of sizing up prospects -- remember Andy Marte?) and Texas both gave up on him. I hope I'm wrong and that the Tek comparison that gets thrown about comes true, but I'm not optimistic. -- Matt ________________________________ From: William Marino <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, December 3, 2010 10:40:26 AM Subject: RE: Tek Back!

What's the uncertainly at SS and CF? It's Scutaro and Ellsbury... As far as catching, hard to say, but certainly wear and tear comes into it, even at a young age. One of my HS-age nephews is an avid baseball player, playing on several teams year-round, and is pretty good. He played catcher, second base and pitched a little. He gave up the catching because he said he was getting too beat up.....

Why is it so hard to develop good catchers? Is it because the really good athletes don’t want to play that position? Other thoughts? I’d love to see Salty work out, but how can we go into the season with uncertainty at catcher, short stop and center field? ________________________________ From:[email protected] [mailto: [email protected] ] On Behalf Of Ray Salemi Sent: Friday, December 03, 2010 8:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Tek Back! I could get behind that. I'd trade hitting for pitching at this point.
