Speaking of needing a catcher next year. They didnt trade off Dioner Navarro as well did they?

If they did.....We're screwed.

[IndieMatty]

Bah..[censored] Atlanta too. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Everyone they get turns to [censored] Gold.

Wow, can anyone tell I was up till 4 AM (on these boards) and am a little cranky.

What's wrong with Posada?

[TheJunkyardGod]

He's old, and falling off as far as being a key players. Hell, he's been on the block since the off season started.

[Shajen]

Yeah, for 1 effing year...then they get shipped off.

I swear, 50% of the league has played in an Atlanta uniform at one time or another...similiar to Seattle.

Atl and Sea are the best scouting grounds for other teams.

[IndieMatty]

He's old. Its about time to transition another player.

You'll find out in 2 years when you guys are paying Varitek 10M a year to bat 260, 17 and 80... (oh wait isn't that what he does now?).

Sorry, but they totally overpaid for Varitek and no one mentioned it.

But he's the captain. You can't put a price on that.

[Bubbagump]

Doesn anybody have any insight as to how this is likely to affect ticket sales for Arizona home games? Just curious.

You're being sarcastic I hope?

I can put a pricetag on Varitek...aout 6.5 over 3 years...MAYYYYBE 20 over 3. Anything more and you're pissing money away. These numbers are good, but come on.
