Varitek back to Red Sox after all: C Jason Varitek exercised his $3 million option to stay with the Red Sox on Wednesday, choosing to remain with the team as a backup to Victor Martinez rather than become a free agent. Boston declined to exercise its $5 million club option on Monday, and Varitek then had two days to decide whether to exercise his player option at the lower price.

Fantasy Analysis

The 37-year-old Varitek was Boston's starting catcher for nine of 10 seasons through 2008, except in 2001 when he was limited to 51 games because of injury. He hit only .220 last year and got spotty playing time once the Red Sox acquired Martinez at the trade deadline. He still has above-average power for a catcher, but his offensive abilities have clearly declined in the last few years. As a backup, he has little Fantasy appeal outside of deeper AL-only leagues.
