Varitek calls it quits : Jason Varitek has officially announced his retirement, bringing to an end a 15-year career with the Boston Red Sox. Varitek made the announcement on Thursday night at the team's spring training facility in Fort Myers, Fla. The Red Sox offered the 39-year-old a chance to come to camp on a minor-league contract, but he declined. He says "the hardest thing to do is walk away from your teammates." The captain helped lead the Red Sox to two World Series titles. He caught a record four no-hitters and played in three All-Star games. (Updated 03/01/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Varitek had played in less than 100 games the last two seasons and had become a backup catcher for the Sox. He wasn't going to have much Fantasy appeal even if he returned in 2012, so Fantasy owners can ignore him in all formats. (Updated 03/01/2012).
