Not a lot of good hitting catchers are avaiable.
They needed him for a playoff push and stablize the position for the duration of his contract. I'm sure they would have loved to have kept him. But in losing him and Beltre, they upgraded with Crawford and Gonzalez. I think they felt they had to make a choice as to who they felt was more important to the team, and, personally, I'd Gonzo and Crawford over Beltre and Martinez any day of the week.

I agree! Crawford and A-gon are way better then them. One of the few advantages of having V-Mart on your team is that he could be back up catcher and Adrian really can't . As far as I know Gonzales has never been a catcher. So do the Red Sox trade for another catcher or just go with what they have? I really don't know how good this Exposito guy is , but I believe Varitek is just about done. He may have 2 years left in him but I say in 2012 or 2013 He is retired. So what I would do is trade for a back up or starting catcher mid season. Cause down the road I think you'll need him.
