Red Sox Acquire Kevin Cash from Astros

Yes, Wake's personal catcher from a few years ago is back- from mlbtraderumors.com, The Red Sox have traded IF Angel Sanchez to the Astros for Kevin Cash. So far, they haven't officially announced where he will be playing, but presumably he will be in Boston, and most likely starting friday night, as his former battery-mate Tim Wakefield takes the mound.
I would like to say that this makes it clear that the Red Sox didn't think Molina would be capable of catching Wakefield, but the way this team has been going, I'd say there is about a 40% chance of that and about a 60% chance that Varitek is injured and going on the DL. We'll see soon enough.
EDIT: I'm seeing from a couple of different sources now that Varitek has, indeed, broken his foot and is expected to miss 6 weeks.

As I posted in the fanpost, out of our projected starting lineup,
We have 1.5/4 outfielders
3/4 infielders
0/2 catchers
3/5 starting pitchers
Out of the original 25-man roster, 8 (I think? hard to keep track) have been/will be on the DL for an extended period of time. Out of the opening day lineup, 5/9 have spent significant time on the DL. And Cameron is still iffy, with Drew being Drew.
This is basically a team being kept together on the backs of a couple stars, a bunch of AAAA talent, and luck/grit.
This is actually to the point of completely humorous
I’m not even upset anymore. It’s just beyond comical.
We have Beckett, Buchholz, Pedroia, Martinez, Varitek, Hermida, Ellsbury, Delcarmen, Cameron, Lowrie, Tazawa, and Lowell all injured.
And Martinez and Tek wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the fact that BOTH of our real AAA catchers were already injured.
Just ridiculous.
If we keep up like this another week or so
the Boston Red Sox will be eligible to play at the Futures at Fenway game.
I come here expecting at least 1 player a day to get injured nowadays.
And I’m never disappointed.
As long as we go .500 to the all-star break....
At-least we have the magic going for now!
I LOVE PEDROIA!!! ITS MAN LOVE!
I'm pretty sure

Beltre stomped on it.

Nah he doesn't need to stomp for that
It was that foul where Tek and Beltre almost ran into each other. We thought Tek got out of the way, but Beltre runs with such force that the aftershock in his wake was enough to break the Captain’s foot.
Adalberto Ibarra had best put his newly issued visa to work
and get ready to travel.
Last guy standing turn out the lights…..that’s you I’m talking to Adrian.
Whatever

At least this isn't that big of a loss
Tek can’t hit a lick right now. We’ll miss his game calling, but not that much because I heard that both Cash and Molina call good games, but obviously won’t know our pitchers that well, except Cash a little bit. I’ve also heard that Molina has a very good arm to throw out runners, so that would be nice to have.
Beginning of the Sarkisian ERA
Our catching combo of VMart and Varitek
lead all of baseball in these offensive categories;
w/OBA
AVG
SLG
OPS
HR
2B
R
RBI
We will not get half that from Cash and Molina.
Fan-frickin-tastic...
And yet, still in the playoffs if the season ended today. Hey! Baseball gods! Next time bring kryptonite!
Wait 'til next/this year?

There's no one left...
They already tried cancer with Lester and busted up Papi’s wrist. And not even the baseball gods with f@&k with Youk and Beltre. Youk would intimidate them by flipping his bat in disgust, and while they were distracted, Beltre would bust their ribs.

I've run out of dry, witty comments about this ... "trend".
It’s just gotten ridiculous.
The fact that we’ve survived it so far is testament to the depth that Theo has built into the organization and to Francona’s ability to work with a constantly mutating roster.
But statistically, to expect all these fill-in players to keep coming through with situational hits and such …. it can’t last.
We need our top-line regulars to get healthy and stay on the field.
YAY FOR KEVIN CASH!!!!

This is great
First the Blazers in basketball and now the sox in baseball.
Offering my services as a fan to whichever team you hate the most in football, I guarantee by week 5 their QB, star RB, half their defensive line, and a punter will all be injured.

Do you understand the personal sacrafice involved in trying to root for the jets?
It might very well kill me…
But I guess if it is for the better good…

This is surreal
Theo and Company have their hands full – this is just a rash of unbelievable bad luck.
