FILE - In this March 13, 2011 file photo, Boston Red Sox's Jason Varitek plays in a spring training baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates,  in Bradenton, Fla. For 15 years, Varitek was the voice in the Boston pitching staff's ear, and the target behind the plate, giving the Red Sox their hard-nosed, gritty identity that they used to win two World Series titles.  Now, it appears that era has come to an end. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar, File)
