Teck is back to his old ways of being an easy out and should be limited to playing twice a week.
Mike Lowell should get some time at DH.
Ortiz should sit agienst leftys.

Runs down what they think the playing time for Ortiz, Lowell, Tek, Youk, and Martinez should be for the rest of the season. Interesting thoughts there.

That's basically what would do except for Kotchman he can ride the bench, and get a spot start.

If you folks don't like Tek at catcher, Martinez will be a real eye opener defensively. They moved him to first because his knees were going and because he sucked defensively at catcher. Moved him back to catcher because he was a worse first baseman. Get used to the fact that the Red Sox will pick up Tek's option for next year, as the article mentioned, he is the third most productive catcher this year.

Tek is the worst catcher in baseball he was ranked 28th a few weeks ago as far as throwing out runners?
The argument that he handles pitcher so well is nonsense.
If he was so great the pitchers should never lose a game.
At least Martinez can hit, he also made the 09 All Star team as a catcher.
We as Red Sox fans over rate our guys way to much?

Im getting sick of the lack luster pitching and terrible offense. Brad Penny is terrible, every time he pitches I want to smash my TV. Varitek cant hit a beach ball and the rest of the offense is sputtering. They need to get their **** in gear quick.

Unless they turn things around now, they will be missing the playoffs for sure.

Smoltz I knew that three run shot was coming, If I was the GM he would be released tonight.
He is a washed up hanger on

What the heck took so long?
Smoltz Designated For Assignment

Now we need to kick a few more slacker in the butt,
namely Nancy Drew, Jason Bay, and show big pop up the door.
