GOOD FIT I WOULD GET HIM OVER VARITEK ANY DAY

The Red Sox ought to sign him and then stop bothering the Rangers for their catchers.

My lil' pudge reminds me of EriK Estrada!

depends, how's the steroids supply in florida?

The best catcher of this generation. I hope he finds a team for a couple more years and Florida will sure profit from his experience.

Lack of interest? Well, Not much to say about this guy. Retire mabey?

Pudge is not ready to retire. With the dearth of quality catching in the major leagues these days, I'm surprised that he isn't generating more interest. His bat is not what it was, but he keeps himself in excellent shape, and is still very solid defensively.

I'm sure you can get a catcher who can't throw anyone out and hits for a .240 average for a lot cheaper than you'd have to pay the little feller who used to be known as Pudge.

Arent the Mets and BoSox looking?

How ironic, there is no interest in Pudge, who hit 50 points better than Varitek and threw out over a third of the runners who tried to steal on him. But Bora$$ wants a four year, $60 million contract for Tek.

Small stage at this point is best for Pudge

Who the heck wants him? He's half the man he used to be, literally. He went from brute strength slugger, to a punch & judy hitter after he stopped juicing. He now looks like Pudge Rodriguez's little brother.

I disagree, without the juice he would have been nothing...as he has proved the last two yrs off the stuff...a little skinny kid with no pop. I credit him for nothing during those years...him an d every other Juicer....including my beloved Nomar Garciaparra when he was a BoSox..I have to be fair after all. Nomar was a juicer, its quite obvious now.
