There's an interesting piece in the Hartford Courant today about Jason Varitek and Jarrod Saltalamacchia; not so much for the things Saltalamacchia says (although if you want to hear what he says 'EEI has some audio) but for what 'Tek has to say.

On building trust with a pitcher:

"It comes with proving you can be relied upon day after day. It may take ten games, it may take fifty or a hundred, but Salty's going to be a good catcher for us. I believe in him as a player."

Let's hope that it doesn't take one hundred games for the pitchers to be comfortable with him or even fifty because that's a long time. But that's got to be nice to hear.
