I doubt Varitek wants to platoon.

There's a fine line between platooning and taking a few days off to stay fresh for the late months.
I wouldn't suggest that Varitek only play every other game, but I think playing 4 of every 5 games will take its toll on his body as the season wears on. I'd like to see him play about 2/3 of the games, and his backup 1/3. For that, we need a backup who's good enough to start for many teams, such as Barajas.
