Victor Martinez: A Fit for the Sox

On yesterday's Red Sox broadcast on NESN Gordon Edes mentioned that the Sox are talking to the Indians about Victor Martinez. I believe that Edes said there was a proposal on the table.

If you read this blog at all, you know that I'm a huge proponent of getting Martinez in a Red Sox uniform. He can catch, play first & DH. He is a switch hitter with pop from both sides & is a lifetime .280 hitter. He solves the Jason Varitek & Mike Lowell dilemma going forward. Particularly with Varitek, he can catch fewer games & help bring Victor's game calling along.

Theo, pull the trigger on this deal.
