brockpapersizer 11,278 Posted September 11 Interesting for 2 catcher leagues. He could be Astudillo but better. He's shown great plate discipline in the minors. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KilloWertz 2,533 Posted September 12 As long as he can hit given how awful Catcher is again, I don't care how big he is. That is if he plays much at all the rest of this season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KilloWertz 2,533 Posted September 12 Getting his first start tonight. Hopefully he does good so they aren't dumb enough to hardly play him the rest of the way since that wouldn't really save them anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hanghow 397 Posted September 13 Game 1: a walk, three balls in play over 100 MPH, and a long foul ball. Fairly promising start... 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Low and Away 1,555 Posted September 13 I saw one AB where he hit a groundball to third to start a DP. Just wasn't that impressed with him either offensively or behind the plate. Will be limited with his weight on both as movement is very limited. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounded like he had a fairly promising first game. Obviously not spectacular given that it ended up being an empty 1-3, but I don't think he's considered one of the top catching prospects in baseball for no reason, even if most of them have ended up being extreme busts recently.

brockpapersizer 11,278 Posted September 22 Big night last night 4-4 HR. He's going to be an interesting guy for next year in 2 C leagues. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasonpark87 21 Posted September 22 Hit one about a foot below the top of the wall in an earlier at bat. Had to settle for a long single. LOL. Could have had a HUGE night. Still amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Bat Theory 7,265 Posted September 22 Big dude. The Bartolo Colon look for catchers. How does someone like that crouch his way through a baseball career? You'd think the spring in his legs would go pretty quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd think the spring in his legs would go pretty quickly. He seems to do a "one-leg" crouch type thing where he sticks one leg out a bit. I don't know if that's helpful, or gonna hurt him in the future. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingJoffrey 800 Posted September 29 I wonder if the Jays give him DH at all next season. Or maybe it's back to Tellez. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
