Player Notes

July 3, 2008
Jason Varitek is slumping again. He is hitless in his last 17 at-bats and last night he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. According to the Boston Herald, he twice failed on hit-and-run attempts in the ninth inning, effectively snuffing out a potential game-tying rally.

Our View:Varitek has three hits in his last 48 at-bats to go with 16 whiffs. His average is down to .216 and it may be time for the Sox to start looking for an alternative to their 36 year old catcher. Currently, he is irrelevant in most fantasy leagues.

June 25, 2008
Jason Varitek is 2-for-8 in his last two games after breaking an 0-for-24 slump, the worst of his career, reports the Boston Globe.

Our View:A switch-hitter, Varitek is hitting .293 as a righty but just .216 left-handed. Unfortunately, 167 of his 209 at-bats have come from the left side of the plate, and he is hitting .230 on the season as a result.

June 15, 2008
Jason Varitek returned to the starting lineup after missing three games to strep throat.

Our View:Varitek was available as a pinch-hitter and emergency catcher.

June 13, 2008
Catcher Jason Varitek, suffering from a case of strep throat, won't start tonight but will serve as the emergency catcher backing up Kevin Cash, notes the Providence Journal. Varitek isn't expected to start before Sunday, at the earliest.

Our View:As usual, Cash will catch Tim Wakefield who starts on Saturday, so Varitek won't return to the starting lineup until Sunday, if then.

June 12, 2008
Jason Varitek will miss the Red Sox game on Thursday night because of strep throat, according to the Boston Herald.

Our View:Kevin Cash, who has served as the personal caddy to knuckler Tim Wakefield, figures to play until Varitek is healthy enough to make a go of it.
