Your 09 Catcher ?

According to Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times, the Boston Red Sox might be interested in acquiring Kenji Johjima and possibly Arthur Rhodes. Johjima, could be Jason Varitek’s replacement for next year at a cheaper rate next year, and also would have a good relationship with Dice-K. Johjima is a free agent at year’s end. Sources close to Sons of Bill Simmons tell us that Jason Varitek is struggling from Troy O’Leary Syndrome, which could be the reason for his awful play. The abysmal season for Varitek continues as he is hitting .216 for the season, and .053 in his last 7 games. Those stats don’t exactly get Theo Epstein excited about possibly signing Varitek to a contract in the 7-10 Million Dollar range for 2-3 years. On another note, Varitek may be my hero.
