Doug Mirabelli resigns w/Red Sox

[jecarney64]

Mirabelli is signed to a 2 year, $1.4 million contract.

Not bad for a backup catcher, unless he's Plan B if Varitek leaves.

Oops that's $3 million over two years...

"After making $825,000 last year, he will receive $1.4 million each of the next two seasons plus a $200,000 signing bonus. "

The Sox need him badly if they resign Varitek. David Ortiz could probably catch a knuckleball as well as Varitek did in the playoffs.

LOL that is so true..

No kidding, Tek was pretty pathetic trying to catch the knuckler!
