		BOSTON -- Jason Varitek has always prided himself on handling the Red Sox pitching staff, and the numbers posted over the last two-plus seasons are proof of that hard work.
		Varitek said he'll continue to make the adjustments most players make through the course of a 162-game season -- letting his numbers fall where they will.
		Although Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek had a career day at the plate on Sunday in Kansas City, going 4-for-4 with three home runs and seven RBI, he was happiest about the performance of Boston right-hander Frank Castillo in the game.

		Though he's not known for his plate-blocking (Varitek is legendary at this facet of the game), Posada has a strong and accurate arm, and has done an admirable job catching a myriad of different pitchers in his years with the Bombers.
		Given the intangibles (Varitek is the captain and emotional field leader of the Sox), Varitek draws closer in comparison to Posada, who has been a superior offensive force during his career.

	Boston Red Sox - Varitek gives a signal - The Boston Globe
		The most interesting case involved Varitek, who was paid $6.7 million last season and reportedly has asked the Sox for a four-year, $44 million deal, with the team offering in the range of $36 million.
		The sides could have continued to negotiate a long-term deal, or Varitek could have taken the club to arbitration and been expected to be paid in the neighborhood of $9 million-$10 million in a one-year deal.
		Today is the deadline for the Sox to tender their remaining 40-man roster players a major league contract, excluding those who are on multiyear deals.

		Varitek will have arthroscopic surgery on his knee Thursday, setting him back at least a month, but more likely in the six-to-eight week range.
		But in Varitek's case, it'd be definitely worth it to have The Captain in the every day lineup if he can't squat behind the plate on a daily basis.
		If Varitek were to be the Sox's every day first baseman, the Red Sox could move Kevin Youkilis back to third base.

		JASON VARITEK: I think sometimes a closer loss, depending on how you lost it, it grabs you a little bit more because usually in close games, there's usually one play or one incident or one thing that happens that changes that game.
		We've got to be able to utilize our fastball on both sides of the plate and we've got to get a lot of these guys to get the ball in, and we have to execute our pitches to allow our offense to get going.
		JASON VARITEK: He, like a lot of that lineup, you can't rest from one guy to the next.

		As a catcher starting to get up in years, Varitek has had an advantage over the past few seasons of getting every fifth day off when Doug Mirabelli gets behind the plate to catch Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball.
		Still, a mild decline is probably a proper forecast, and I think the at-bat total is too high here.
		Maybe even catching four days out of five is a bit much to ask of a catcher who will be 34 on April 11.
