This begs the question, who gets to wear the "C" in Boston now?

I would guess David Ortiz.
I think he's the only guy left from the '04 team.

 

[Huffamaniac]

Pedroia is the only one deserving to wear it. I do not think anyone wears it

 

[MisterT]

I think it goes into storage for a while....

 

[oiccup41]

I hope nobody gets it.

There have been several captainless periods for the Sox. Probably Bobby V will wear it (heh).

Hes retiring because he finally got his dick out of miggys ass

figured it would be you or hofmichael. anyways yes his dick is out of my ass now.

red sox should retire the captain symbol. has not worked well for them these past few years

Get a dancing chicken with beer and put a C on his chest.

 

[MojoDan]

Hope Tek stays with the Red Sox in some capacity. I dont think the C gets bestowed on anyone this season but if it does, I cant imagine it wouldnt be Pedroia.

agreed dan pedroia and aceves were the only ones who did anything last year

I vote Marco Scutaro, he was the Sox best player in September. Who cares if he's a Rockie now.

 

[miguelcabrera]

scutaro is the mvp of the sox 2012 team for finally leaving. not the mvp of 2011

 

[Sean_C]

I'd prefer if no one got it, but if that doesn't happen, I'd rather see Pedroia with it.

 

[jay1065]

Most of the talk around here has the role of Captain not being used this season.

 

[FrostyCollects]

I think Youkilis should be the captain...he kind of looks like a pirate captain if you add an eyepatch...ARR!!

I have a nice '97 Best Premium Preview /200 of him (pre-majors) that I'll post when someone foolish starts a show-your-cards thread as a tribute to him. :?

 

[jay1065]

Youkilis would be a great captain, if only he could stay healthy. He's missed over 100 games the last two seasons combined.

Good luck finding a better ss for a while. I dont get why so many people dont give the guy any credit. Hes a good all around ss and certainly a hell of a later better than anything the Sox are going to trot out there for a while.

...and his contract was only 6 million this year
