Thanks for the insight. While Francona decided to play Martinez over Varitek because of Varitek's lack of offense, I am sure another manager in MLB would have chosen to start Varitek, because of his intangibles behind the plate, and use V-Mart as a pinch hitter during a key situation late in the game. As such, I believe that it would be cool if OOTP increased the impact that catching ability has in the game. Even if its just by a small percentage.
