What are some of the theories that Sox fans have about his decline in
batting average? He used to be a pretty dangerous hitter and the last
two years he's just awful. Has he given any indication what he thinks
it is?

None of your BRS Heroes want to risk the 50 game spanking, such as the
one Manny received. Dynasty, indeed!

I'm not a Red Sox fan. I was asking Red Sox fans. (And kind of
hoping for a civil discussion.)

Don't expect one from Tristan de Cunha. He is a Yankee fan who trolls
our Red Sox group.

My opinion? Possibly age, though I don't think he should be cut loose
yet. Lot's of players have bounced back from poor years.

Neither is he. He's a n idiot troll.

The reason is mostly likely that catching takes a very hard toll on the
body and catchers have shorter careers. The ones that can still hit often
transfer to another position late in their careers, like first base. That
might even work for Tek, but not in Boston.

Hey Brad; You're another loyalist who just don't get it. TEE won because
they are a TEAM and played like one. That's why they're the Champs.
Forget the payroll, or the players or "buying the Series".
Ask the Twins, Angels and Phils if TEE bought it! Ask youir brain dead
RSN....and they'll lie to you all day long!
Arod and Tex and C.C and A.J. wanted a ring! And they knew that with a
TEAM TEE delivers. Ask Arod what TEAM means....he finally found out!
And it only took him 15 yrs.to find out!
He's as happy as a pig in shit, a roach in a sugar bowl, a dog with 2
dicks!
Go ask him, fools, and get back to me.
I never sleep!
Ask your Mommies!
They know ~((-:

I'm not sure that it's accurate to say "catchers have shorter
careers". I think it's better to say they have a shorter time when
they are offensively productive......or maybe productive on offense.
Cuz in a way Varitek is "offensively productive"...no?

Anyway.....if anyone wants to nominate the last team to miss out on
making the playoffs because of a bad performance from the back-up
catcher I'm willing to do the research to prove it one way or the
other.

NYY had a lot of good things happen to them this year. Damon, ARod,
Jeter, Matsui, Pettitte, Swisher, Cano all were above my expectations,
as was their relief. NYY needed to have good things happen to have
such a good season and win the WS. But a big "good thing" was the
revival of Posada. I was v. happy when Jorge signed that big contract,
as I expected him to be dog meat by the end. But the guy can still
hit. And he is throwing well again. Not a great receiver, of course,
but that was always true.

Wayback; How'd you think Jorge landed that fat extension in his
"walk"year?
You don't really think I smoke that shit, do you? The best thing Posada
does is catch pop flies. You could drop one from the moon and he'd catch
it. Otherwise he's an automatic out 80% of the time, or a D/P.
He is the f'n pits!
Mr.passed ball!\
Now,you step up to the plate and explain some of your POS HOFers!
C'mon Wayback.....I'm waitin'....

Oh yeah, Bard. Find me ONE catcher ever who has bounced back from 2
consecutive terrible years at 37 or older. Dufus.

Huh yer ass! You flamed Posada and I agreed. Don't pull that "huh"shit
on me!
Explain some of your f'n "allworld" ball players to me. Start with that
POS Ellsbury, Then some of your other wannabe assholes who couldn't make
TEE bench!
Stop smokin that shit!
You're lucky you backed into 2nd place.
Asshole losers!
