Jason Varitek?
Varitek gets a day off every time Wakefield pitches, which is every 5 days. Do most catchers in the MLB get this much time off?
Answers:
Based on any of my previous answers, who is my favorite baseball player of all time?
At least.Most regular catchers actually catch 5 or at most 6 games a week. Varitek doesn't catch Wakefield well, as the Bosox found out in the early parts of last season. Mirabelli has that knack, so he starts when Wakefield pitches, and he starts other games as well. It's just that all other things being equal, Varitek doesn't start when Wakefield does.
Check the season stats of any MLB catcher. You'll be hard-pressed to find one who starts more than about 130 games/season.

no.but wakefield throws knuckleballs 99% of the time and those guys usually have their own catcher.plus varitek is a big dude who doesnt move like he use to.those knuckleballs tend to go everywhere.he has caught wakefield before but probably needs a break to.More Questions & Answers...
