Perhaps that was an omen to his Phillies future.
Ken Rosenthal reports the champions are interested in the man who made the great 2004 possible by leaving town. They're also interested in 2004 champion Gabe Kapler, who would make more sense because whoever gets the final Phillies bench slot should be able to play some outfield defense.
Since we're talking about bottom of the roster depth, the Red Sox completed their bench by re-signing Mark Kotsay - who was rumored to be heading to the Phillies before the Red Sox acquired him last season.
But the Sox still don't have a starting catcher. From the Boston Herald:
Still on the to-do list is acquiring another catcher. Epstein said a deal with captain and free agent Jason Varitek has not been ruled out.
"We've still got some unfinished business," said Epstein. "Jason is still out there. As I said at the beginning of the offseason, by no means have we shut the door on him and we’re also in pursuit of a younger catcher in a trade."
Take two: I forgot to mention what Christine will think of whenever we see Rocco enter a game. Her cousin's first hamster was named Rock-O. She was a little girl when she had him, and after he died, she kept writing in letters to Christine's brother, stationed in Iraq at the time, that her hamster had died.
There were several letters, and I imagine if enemies got a hold of them, they'd go nuts trying to figure out what "Rock-O died" was code for.
