What? Me have something to say?? | Ranting Julia

I guess I have Nasty Nats to thank for finding myself here. I am a rabid Red Sox fan - don't you go trashing my Sox! And I have a lot to say about them. You can find my MLBlog (Top 100 Fan Blogs if I do say so!) at http://werbiefitz.mlblogs.com/.

The Red Sox have recently had a flurry of activity. We've signed Pitcher John Smoltz (can you believe that he WON"T be a Brewer this season?? And that Golf Magazine ranked him #18 out of 250 professional athletes who are golfers as well?) andOutfielder Rocco Baldelli from the Tampa Bay Rays. (Hmmm - did they feel that his numbers in the post season were a fluke?) We've also resigned Mark Kotsay. I like this signing. He gives us some insurance in the event that Youk has to play third.

I see that the Red Sox have one last hole to fill. HOW ABOUT A CATCHER THEO??? It's great that we've added to the pitching staff - BUT what good does it do us if we don't have anyone to catch for them? Sorry, but Bardo is not going to be the everyday catcher that we need. I don't even know if he has learned to catch the knuckleball. I SO want us to resign TEK! Yeah, I know his numbers were pretty bad last year - but NO ONE can argue that we don't need his leadership on and off the field. There is a reason he wears a 'C' on his uniform. And think about this - won't he make a great pitching coach when he retires? And shouldn't we tie him up and have him work with our young pitchers? I think we should! So Theo - get to work and make this happen!
