So " Curt in the car" has a point......Tek is needed for a strong pitching staff that Theo and the team have spent wisely on. Given we have seen no clear inidcation of any MLB team willing to give the Americans (Red Sox) a potential catcher of the future, how do they not resign Tek for another two years. Scale back the innings, mix in Josh Bard, George Kottaras/Dusty Brown for a year or two and see what happens when Joe Mauer hits the market in 2010? Giving up Bucholz or Bowden for Teagarden or Montero, both of whom are unproven in a big market, how could we play a wait and see come spring training with Bard as our only option?
Tek behind the plate bringing stability and leadership will ensure we get the most out of the current big 3, Lester, Beckett and Matsuzaka (yes, in that order) while we watch Penny and Smoltz love throwing to the polished and best prepared receiver in the game....never mind the average, pitching is what wins in October.

We need Tek - but we're the only team with interest - I like what the Red Sox are doing - Tek had a choice - listen to and follow the advice of Boras - or go with you heart.
