Guess what? We don’t need to worry about a backup catcher for another year! Tony Massarotti is reporting on the Herald’s Clubhouse Insider blog that the Stud Who Hits Bombs, Doug Mirabelli, will be coming back to Boston on a one year deal, killing rumors that his spot as backup backstop would be taken by George Kottaras and his strikeout to walk ratio of doom in 2007. Details on the deal weren’t available, but those in the know say Dougie was happy to sign for $75 and an especially large ham sandwich, saying afterwards, “You guys know and I know it. I just can’t quit you.” Welcome back, Mirabelli! Here’s hoping you won’t have to take over the starting catcher bat any time next year.
