Carlos Ruiz

No one wants to see Chooch go, but the time has come. While I am all in favor of keeping him to help Alfaro, Knapp, and the pitching staff, he could be a big asset to a team needing a veteran catcher who calls the best game in baseball.

I think the Red Sox would love to have a veteran like Ruiz for the final stretch of the season. With a championship pedigree, Chooch can help a young group of catchers and be a quality bench player in the American League.
