		<description><![CDATA[A 220/.300/.423 line isn&#039;t that bad from a catcher really, but I think it&#039;s the defense that hurts him more than anything...he really can&#039;t throw anyone out anymore. I feel like he could probably still secure a backup job somewhere, but it sort of seems like he doesn&#039;t want to leave Boston. If he retires as a player I&#039;m sure the Sox have a job for him in some capacity if he wants it.]]></description>
