Red Sox Interested In Rod Barajas

By Mark Polishuk | November 24, 2010 at 11:32pm CDT

With Victor Martinez and John Buck off the market, the Red Sox are turning their attention to "a number of catching contingencies" including free agent Rod Barajas, reports FOXSports.com's Jon Paul Morosi.  Barajas would presumably share time with, or be a veteran backup for, Jarrod Saltalamacchia in Boston.

Barajas hit .240/.284/.447 in 339 plate appearances with the Mets and Dodgers in 2010, including a .939 OPS with Los Angeles after he was claimed on waivers in late August.  The 35-year-old gained some AL East experience playing in Toronto in 2008-09 and is known for a strong throwing arm behind the plate.  Barajas has thrown out 32% of baserunners trying to steal on him over his 12-year career, though as Morosi pointed out, that percentage dipped to 15% last season. 

Boston tried to acquire Barajas from the Mets in July to fill in for their many injured catchers.  Barajas' solid power numbers should earn him a bigger contract than the $500K guaranteed deal he signed with New York last February, though he would still be a relatively cheap pickup for the Sox.

      I want Downs and Frasor…also want Wheeler from Rays. Hope Sox move Papelbon and sign all three.

      Plus if/when the Sox sign Werth or Crawford, Jays get hosed on the picks.

            not really, because chances are Jason Frasor wouldn’t get a contract offer from another team if the team had to give up a first round pick.

            So either way, the Jays will not be getting a first rounder for Frasor

    I know that he was suspended and will be out the first couple of weeks of the 2011 season, but I wonder if it’d make sense for the Red Sox to call the Marlins about Ronny Paulino. He’s mashed LHP throughout his career, has good pull power, and has a far superior throwing arm to Varitek. Paulino’s also under team control (arby eligible) for two more years, and would probably be cheaper than Tek.

    I don’t think a Paulino/Salty platoon would be any less productive than Varitek/Salty. Couldn’t possibly take much to acquire now that Florida also has John Buck.

    I would rather have V-Tek back on a 1 year deal as a “bridge” to Lavarnway, who raked in AA (OPS just under .900) this year and held his own in the AFL (OPS just under .800). According to soxprospects.com Lavarnway should be ready by 2012.

      Olivo is a far superlative choice because his legs and arm are fresh and he has decent power. His BA is less than Barajas, but can hit decently down at the bottom of the order. Theo is shopping at Walmart here. He doesn’t have to shop at Saks Fifth Avenue to suit me, but at least shop at Macy’s.

              Fair enough, and that’s why I put the “particularly Beckett” at the end there, because it wouldn’t be completely unreasonable to predict a similar year out of Lackey next year. My point is the same though, having a staff of Lester, Buchholz, Beckett, Lackey, and Dice-K(Doubront/Wakefield) doesn’t exactly qualify as a “disaster” in my book.

      I don’t know how much you subscribe to sabermetrics, but for what it’s worth the Red Sox had the highest total WAR for starting pitchers in all of MLB, tied with the Rockies at 18.9 (source: fangraphs.com/teams.aspx?pos=all&stats=sta�…)

      The Red Sox didn’t succeed in 2010 for a lot of reasons, but the starting pitching staff was hardly one of them.

      That being said, Barajas kinda stinks and I’ll take my chances with some rookies and/or unproven talent over him. Take Varitek back if there’s a lack of “veteran presence”.

        Two very good pitchers and three below average starters does not a good staff make. Their collective performance does not even justify a third of what they are being paid, therefore it is a disaster for at least the next 4 years they are stuck with these financial burdens.

          And one pitcher who had an uncharacteristically bad season (which no one expects him to repeat) and another who won 14 games as your #4 starter does not a “disaster” make.

    as much as i have seen Rod Barajas play he is swinging for the fences type of player ( Many Jays are) .. so yeah there are times when you are banging your head against the wall … but also 19-20 hr witha good defense and good veteran present is ok for me ..

    i liked how he worked with our young starters when they first arrived so yeah he is ok

    but not good for red sox standards ….. maybe you can look at Yanks catcher situation .. even more dire … Jorge Posada was worse then Matinez was behind the plate and his every mount visit annoyed the hell outta me …. they don’t have any good catchers either ( montero is in no way a catcher) .. maybe they’ll go in with Posada and Cervelli ..lol

        Tek posted .276/.593/.868 as a RHB vs LHP in 2010. The guy can still hit lefties in a platoon situation. This works well with Salty, since he hits right-handers better as a LHB.

    If youre going to go for a defensive catcher then you may as well get Gerald Laird who is one of the best on the market.

    However the guy they should get is Miguel Olivo. Very solid behind the plate, he has thrown out 35% of base stealers over his career and threw out 42% 2 out of the last 3 years.

    He is ok with the bat, still better than Barajas. He wont walk a lot, just 125 walks in over 3000 plate appearances. But he’ll hit about .250 or so with 15-20 HRs especially playing in Fenway. And he knows how to get himself on the field. His last few stops he was the 2nd option behind a younger catcher with more upside (COL-Iannetta, KC-John Buck) and he still ended up as the primary catcher.

    Itll probably take a 2 yr deal to get him but shouldnt be too expensive.
    However it could be interesting if the Yankees realize that Montero is not a catcher and Cervelli cant hit much, they may check in on Olivo as well since he was Girardis starting catcher for a couple of years down in Florida.

      Does it really matter that he can throw out runners when he is also terrible at blocking balls in the dirt? I’m pretty sure he normally lets a lot of passed balls by per year.

        Yeah he does have a little bit of an issue with passed balls but when you look at the Red Sox staff they dont have a lot of guys who throw power sinkers or anything like that outside of Papelbon and to a lesser extent Lackey. They are mostly power 4 seam guys with Beckett, Buchholz, and Lester.

        Plus whatever he allows in passed balls he will more than make up for with his offense and throwing out base stealers.

        They don’t really have a guy who could though. Exposito isn’t that good and probably won’t be ready until 2012 at the earliest. I see the guy as a career backup. Lavarnway would be great if he could play the position, which is very much in question. Like I said in another post, Russell Martin should be on this team. He can be had for next to nothing right now, but I hope he gets nontendered. His power has really decreased the last few years, but they don’t need power out of their catcher.

    man with the way the sox are going so far and the loss of crawford from Tampa the jays could be serious contenders for second in the east and have a shot at getting the wild card. the AL is gonna be fun this year with ten teams that could potentially made a strong push for the playoffs with the addition of one or two players still left on the market.

      The AL East is getting so strong that they are going to knock each other off next year. I think thats why they are going to add another wild card in 2012. Next year the wild card could come from the west and the runner up in the East will lose out.

    I’ll start by saying I don’t want any of the free agents. The Sox need to make a trade or re-sign Varitek.I wonder if the Sox could get Montero if they paid half of Papelbons salary, Saltalamacchia and mid to low-A prospect? Probably not.I really like David Ross. His slash line over the past two years is very nice. He only got 150 at bats the past two seasons so maybe the Sox could pry the guy from Atl.

    Catchers are a dime a dozen. Barajas is what Boston needs…a defensive catcher. He won’t give you much by the way of average but he can hit 15-20 HR. and he will get what $2 mil tops? Boston isn’t going into this season without replacing offense. If I were Theo and I could sign Crawford for 6 years I would do it…..then I could feel comfortable moving Ellsbury in an Upton deal.

      Can you really consider a guy a defensive catcher if he only throws out 15% of base stealers? Doesn’t Tek throw out more than that?

    “the Red Sox are turning their attention to “a number of catching contingencies””

    you guys all know that this is absolutely meaningless right?

    It just means that are kicking the tires on all the options,if this is even true.

      Contingencies are backup plans. Such as if Varitek retires.

        i know what it means,thanks.

        “a number of catching contingencies” would imply that he isn’t even their top choice.

    I think that he’s rake at Fenway.. and if he isn’t played a lot then he shouldn’t hurt too much. For the money and power potential I think there are worse options.

    lol strong first half, then don’t hit ever again. Did I mention the .284 OBP?

    The Sox missed the boat by not signing Martinez or Buck; I don’t think their replacements will be an upgrade.

    Redsox need to get either Miguel Olivo/A.J Pierseinski, Carl Crawford, Adrian Beltre, Scott Downs

    or

    Jose Reyes, Jayson Werth, Miguel Olivo, Scott Downs

    The only 3 catching options I think are the best for the red sox are russell Martin, mike Napoli, or salty. Napoli would probably bring us the best offense, Martin would probably bring us the best defense. Or we could try to trade for Taylor Teagarden, or max Ramirez of Texas.

    Wouldn’t the Red Sox trading for Napoli just seem odd, since Napoli is a poor mans version of V-Mart?

      yeah but seeing as he isnt valued to the Angels, he could be had for a decent swap, the Angels like Mathis so if they matched up it could be a good trade, only thing is i dont think the Angels like the players on the Sox farm, they couldnt even come close to a trade when the Sox made a waiver claim, and i doubt it could happen at the winter meetings, I dunno, maybe they are still bitter at Manny admiring his home run in ’07.

    Forget all of these guys, bring in that Lavarnway guy, he looked awesome, i hope he at least gets an invite to spring training, i am more excited to see this guy than Casey Kelley who was supposed to of been in the AFL game but hmmm wasnt.

      I saw Lavarnway in the AFL and I can tell you he is no Martinez. Thats like comparing Ryan Kalish to Yaz.

        Lavarnway may not be Martinez but he could be a good replacement for him and much, much cheaper not to mention they have other potentials coming in the next year or two so his point that they could have been more willing to let him go because of the possible replacements in the minors is justified.

    Out of all people why Barajas? Low avg. low obp, with some pop? Is it for the defensive prowess? Why not just have Tek behind the plate then? There are other solid catching options available out there such as AJ or Olivo, this must be another bargain basement signing that Theo hopes will finally pan out. Come on Theo, as a Yankees fan, I know that this kind of signing and the others usually never pan out. *ahem* Nick Johnson.

    maybe it was just my imagination but weren’t the Red Sox trying to acquire Ryan Doumit from the Pirates at the trade deadline? Are they still in on that or are they not thinking he can catch/they got turned off on him when the Pirates turned him into an outfielder?
