Salty wants to be a lieutenant

The slow offseason sputters on. The only thing of note today is Nick Cafardo's column in which Jarrod Saltalamacchia says he'd love to come to Boston to learn how to be a major league catcher under Jason Varitek.

This is welcome news because he has long been on the team's radar and one of the priority's this offseason is finding a replacement or supplement (depending on how serious Scott Boras is about that four-year, $52 million contract for the 36-year-old who can't hit) for the Captain.

Also of note in the column is that Charlie Manuel is campaigning to bring Manny Ramirez to Philadelphia. God no. I'd sign Shea Hillenbrand and his zoo (read the column) before letting Manny ruin the World Champions' mojo.
