Jason Varitek, apparently feeling left out, is headed for the disabled list with a broken foot (an injury similar to Dustin Pedroia’s, it would seem).  During a normal circumstance, this is one injury I think the team could shake off without much difficulty.  However, when just about every other MLB ready or near-MLB ready catcher in the organization is injured, it becomes a serious problem.

The Sox have made an emergency trade for Kevin Cash.  Yes, he of the lifetime .188/.250/.291 averages.  Cash was here in 2008 and had his “best” offensive season with the Sox, and he is a good defensive catcher, but he is not a guy you want behind the plate for the majority of your games.

Unfortunately, as of July 2nd, 2010, Kevin Cash is the starting catcher for the Boston Red Sox.
