I agree with you on Nido - Plawecki right now is a far better hitter, and no one is thinking of him as a first string catcher at the moment.<br /><br />Some guy named Ronaldo Hernandez in the Ray's Appalachian League affiliate shows what a real exciting catcher candidate looks like: 19 years old, .465/.481/676 after 17 games, doesn't strike out, and has gunned down 54 of 99 base stealers since turning pro.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-26966721902194449372017-07-13T14:01:38.579-04:002017-07-13T14:01:38.579-04:00Gary -

I'd take the gamble he stays healthy the rest of the season and if his #'s are good he should bring back at least 3 top 100 prospects. Mack whats your latest evaluation of our catchers. I know Nido got an all-star start with just avg. offensive #'s but figure he must be looked at highly to get the nod....what are your thought's?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674150694486256724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-39540915044631459472017-07-13T08:29:43.131-04:002017-07-13T08:29:43.131-04:00Gsellman for a few of these Twins guys?

A mediocre starter in his day with a .425 win % and 20-34 as a Met, he nonetheless completed 72 of 301 career starts.<br /><br />Even now, wouldn't you trade Giolito for Cecchini, though (both of whom are having "off" years in 2017)?Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
