Its amusing that Theo The Wunderkind got so much praise for this deal. Cleveland was already sliding him over to first for 50+ games a year (he play 70 games at first last year). If he isnt good enough for garbage like Cleveland to use daily behind the plate what makes a competitive team like Boston think that he will suffice?
Nice. I say players need to start taking 3rd on this guy too. I don’t believe he can throw out the above average to slightly above average base runners trying to take third off him.
I credit Boston’s two terrible catchers and love for culinary excellence for inspiring this overlap. It was actually the NY Mets themed dunkin’ subway ads that made me think of this last season. Although I am saddened that my obituary (after committing ritual suicide to defend the honor of NoMaas readers) will not read “first to parody national marketing campaign”.
Still love everything nomaas. It’s fun to check out the Dirt Dogs every once in a while to see the panic that grips their fan base and the idiocy of their sports writers. For example, Boston actually thinks that now that Ronan Tynan moved to Boston and was banned from God Bless America duties for the Yankees last year that New York created a “Curse of the Tenor.” I insist Tynan was the Jinx and no sooner was he banned that the Yanks beat the Angels and went on to win the WS.

Boston should run a charity – bid to steal second against Wakefield/V-Mart.

@Rey22
The poor soul that got caught stealing was our very own Robinson Cano.
Matt K April 21, 2010 00:51
If I remember correctly I think that poor soul was a yankee. i could be wrong

Boston dirt dogs did this first with varitek.
RollingWave April 21, 2010 02:58
I believe Cano was thrown out on a botched hit and run too.
RollingWave April 21, 2010 03:00
still, Posado is at 8% (11 SB 1 CS) so far, but it’s not as absurd as V-Mart

Boston stinks.

Classic because Dunkin Donuts is the only place to eat in Boston.

LOL. Too good to be true.
Rich Mahogany April 21, 2010 10:06
V-Mart is rocking a .250/.276/.375 line to accompany that horrid CS rate, making him a true team-killer in the early season.

YAY! Someone is worse than Po-Po!
