Varitek's Slump

[yawkeyway]

I know this will get all smushed with formatting and whatnot, but looking at the month of June alone, it is apparent that something is up with Tek. His average is plummeting, and he isn't doing much at all. Has he fallen victim to the Boras curse? Whats the deal? Discuss.

Tek is certainly going downhill, and Millar too for that matter. I have no idea what could be wrong with him, other than Boras-itis. He's usually so consistent, but in only 13 games his OPS has fallen 100 points!

He needs to get this fixed fast. The sox O is not as potent as it used to be, especially with all the injuried we've had (and continue to have). We need our producers producing, not slumping.

tek is just in a slump, he'll break out of it soon

I hope so... I seem to give Tek a lot more slack than anyone else, just because he's so awesome.

However, getting blown away by those 92 mph fastballs last night was UGLY. :(

Welcome to the site RedSoxChick. :D

It's certainly cause for concern, but I think that Tek is too good a player to succumb to a slump like this. He'll be back soon enough.

I love it.

He seemed to return at the end of last night's game. Too bad it was too late.
