Let's rid ourselves of this dilemma once and for all!

The Boston Globe's Chad Finn writes an excellent piece on why Jason Varitek should be let go by the Sox. My sentiments exactly! There are comments below that say, basically, that "yes, Jason stinks, that's why we should only sign him for...oh say 10 million over two years." Do these people realize that any minor league catcher at the AAA level could have given Boston what Varitek gave them last year? Read "Baseball Prospectus" and then tell me that Varitek is someone you want on your team. I certainly would take just about any cheaper alternative to him at this point, which would allow more money to be spent on need areas of the team.

Face it, Boston sports fans: Tek was terrible last year and he ain't gonna get any better! Time to maybe be a coach, though his sizable ego may not allow for that. I always thought he was the most overrated man on the Sox, and now his numbers prove he isn't even a major league caliber catcher for anyone, let alone a team with a World Series title in their sites for next season.

An "excellent piece"? Chad Finn? Dude, he has been trashing on Varitek all summer...

Perhaps you should read this instead:

It is a far better piece than anything Finn could come up with and more accurate!
