    Well, that's a--what did I read in last night's game thread?--travesty. Another rookie mistake. Will this nightmare never end?

    Keep it up and you could get to 22 catches.

    The earliest for Swihart is the 14th while Vaz is around the end of August. The finger was expected to heal up in 6 to 8 weeks from the surgery plus sme time to get in a game or two in AAA.

    The Red Sox are 25-1 in Sandy Leon’s last 26 starts.
    As much as I am a fan of Vazquez, I have to give Leon the props.

    He is the King.

    This team would be winning with Salti behind the plate.

    Maybe not as many games. But they would be winning a lot of them.
    "Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.


    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    The 14th isn't too far away.

    I agree, but I do think that Leon is doing a better job this year than Vaz.
