At least tonight

it sounds like the Rangers fans are trying to drown out the Sox fans. Last night we were way outnumbered.

Question

What would you do about the catching situation next year?

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 6, 2008 7:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well, a lot of course depends on how Salty recovers

And how Tea hits this month. But assuming Laird is gone, and everyone is healthy, I would like to see Max as the DH, and either Salty or Teagarden (whichever one wins the job out of ST) going full time at the start of the year.

What would you do with the one who doesn't win the job?

And wouldn’t you be better served moving one of your three young catchers this offseason?

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 6, 2008 7:50 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

move em all

Trade Pina too. Bring back Melhuse

The other one stats in AAA

I’m not really all that keen on trading any of our young catchers until the deadline next year really. Each one has something to prove, and each one could be the starter of the future. I think trading one just to trade one would be akin to trading AGon myself.

Salty/Max combo

Dear god please don’t let this happen. The defense would be so terribly bad I think my eyes would bleed watching it

Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

by bigsteve on Sep 6, 2008 7:56 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Id rather TT hit his weight

than Salty or Max hit theirs. At least TT is a good defensive catcher

Really?

Because it wasn’t all that bad when it happened last year.

All-D, no hit catchers are vastly overrated IMO – if you’ve got big bats that can catch, I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to get that extra sock into the order. Unless of course you think both Salty and Max are busts, which of course I don’t think will happen.

Bats

Even with Saltys recent hot streak he still hasn’t shown me enough to think he is as good an offensive threat as he is made out to be. Max either. I think Max needs at least another couple months possibly a full year in AAA before coming up for good to the bigs.

by bigsteve on Sep 6, 2008 8:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well, the same can be said about Teagarden

Irregardless, we’ve got to give at least one of these guys a real chance in the majors next year, without the distraction of Laird and his whining. Even if they flop, I think that’s better than trading one just to trade one, only to find out we traded the best of the three.
