Still, the Red Sox appear to have a couple of major decisions in the off-season.<br /><br />My guess is that they're going to look hard to find a catcher who can 1) catch the ball (how many PB's does Varitek have in the last three weeks alone?), 2) throw a runner out once in awhile, and 3) hit. VMart to first and Youk to 3rd makes sense, but also gives rise to the Lowell/Ortiz dilemma.<br /><br />Both of them have made invaluable contributions to this team.
