Varitek out at least a month

Boston Globe: "But now Varitek, who had already appeared in 85 games (79 starts) and Monday night made his 1,000th career appearance behind the plate, is expected to be lost for at least a month because he requires arthroscopic surgery to repair partially torn meniscus cartilage in his left knee." Doug Mirrabelli's fantasy value just got an uptick...eventhough he's only batting a paltry .181. Word is that the Sox are interested in Mike Lieberthal

This is a major loss to the sox and probably stings that much more having just watched the Yankees pass them in the standings. Do you think Lieberthal would clear waivers?

He might clear waivers...he's sheduled to make $7.5 mils in 2006 and then that's it, he's an FA.
