There has been some talk that the Dodgers may go after a Varitek or a pitcher - oriented catcher , which would free Martin from behind the plate and take his athleticism to third base , where the coaches feel he could also be an All - Star , a move Torre , Todd Zeile and Craig Biggio all made successfully . Let 's put this out here plain and clear : Jason Varitek is cooked . Toast .

What is meant by Varitek being " cooked toast " ?
He wo n't be promoted most likely .
