Tek was 5th this year in VORP among catchers (though it was very close between 5th and 8th)

yeah, Tek looks awful when you watch him play. But then when you compare numbers among catchers and he's right atop that 2nd tier behind the studs (McCann, VMart, Posada, Mauer) offensively.

Factor in all those intangibles that they talk about with Tek all the time, and he's easily a top 5 catcher overall. I guess.

It's all about Okie right now. A clean, easy inning from him here would go a long, long way towards winning this game.

If it goes extra innings, I expect we'll see Lester unless we get a Wakefield surprise.

what the red sox should do: beat the [censored] out of gagne so he's injured. replace him with buchholz. have buchholz pitch a no-hitter in game 4 to win the series. dont have to worry about gagne pitching in world series.

Case dismissed.

In addition to the young studs you have to take Posada, and maybe Johjima too, over Tek. He is not a top 5 catcher.
