Time to use the Belichick model?

SPORTING GOODS

Over the weekend, I couldn't help but be reminded of Patriots' coach Bill Belichick's rationale for obtaining Wes Welker a few years ago:

At Miami, he just killed us, returning kicks, catching the ball in the slot, running reverses.

It might be time for Red Sox GM Theo Epstein to apply the same thinking to the Orioles' Nick Markakis, who, once again, killed the Sox with a 7 for 12 weekend.
