Big Stuff: Catcher Situation
2 big new things from MLBTR.
First, the news that all of us that want Buch gone have been dreading: He's untouchable. Maybe if he wore the pants and did the dance, he'd distract hitters...
Second, there's a list of catchers that the Sox have been offered here. Kinda feels like Black Friday has started all ready. Something else mentioned in that link is that Tek expects to be contacted by the Sox' FO after Turkey Day. Maybe get him while Boras is sleepy from all of the L-Tryptophan.
Any ideas on how to deal with the catching situation now that we have two new guides? Remember: no touchy Buch and there are several options that have been made available.

The best we can get without getting rid Buch or Masterson.
If we have to give up anymore it isn’t worth it. I would rather sign a Tek or another mediocre catcher, or bring up one of our two catchers in AAA. I don’t think either of them will be elite catchers but both could play decently in the Majors.
That being said, I think Kenji Johjima would be a pretty good fit. It clears the way for Clement. He is excellent defensively and average to above average offensively. He is Japanese so he would communicate well with Dice-K and Oki.
He is under contract for 3 years for about 7mil/year.
Kenji Johjima for Chris Carter would be my offer
